The remake of this PlayStation exclusive has not yet debuted and there are already layoffs at the studio that developed it

Layoffs, studio closures, delays, and cancellations remain the norm this year, just as they were in 2023, but in recent days it’s emerged that there appears to be a new wave of cuts taking place before games even debut, meaning the business outcome is irrelevant to keeping jobs. Today, layoffs were reported at a studio working on a remake of a former PlayStation 4 exclusive.

According to a report by Insider-Gaming, An unknown number of Ballistic Moon workers were laid off a few weeks before the release of his most recent project: the remake of Until Dawna PS4 exclusive originally developed by Supermassive Games. This follows a series of posts from Ballistic Moon employees, who revealed on their LinkedIn profiles that they were cut by the studio and are now looking for new job opportunities.
