The developer of real-time space strategy Homeworld 3 laid off more than 40 employees

Blackbird Interactive, which is responsible for the development of Homeworld 3, has announced the dismissal of more than 40 employees. The reason for this decision was the cancellation of several future projects of the studio.

Here's What We Know

"We’ve had to take the unfortunate step of laying off some friends this week. This year has been incredibly tough on the industry as a whole. As a result, we’ve had several unannounced projects canceled and yesterday were forced to say goodbye to 41 of our team members. As an independent studio, Blackbird Interactive has always been a close-knit team. Our top priority is helping position those affected for this next stage of their careers. We are offering a suite of extended benefits and severance to help ease this transition. No announced projects will be affected by this move, and we will continue to deliver on those games"

Blackbird Interactive is currently working on the real-time space strategy game Homeworld 3, which is scheduled for release in February 2024.
