Polish developer Reikon Games has reportedly dismissed a significant portion of its workforce.

Sources told GamesIndustry.biz that around 70 people have been laid off, while former producer Rafał Basaj claimed it was around 60 people via a Threads post.

Others told Kotaku that an estimated 56% of the company's employees have been affected.

The layoffs were announced to staff on January 23, 2024, with multiple former employees since posting on LinkedIn and social media platforms that they are looking for work.

GamesIndustry.biz reached out to Reikon Games for confirmation and comment, but has not received a response at the time of writing.

Reikon is best known for 2017 cyberpunk shooter Ruiner, which was published by Devolver Digital.

You got it. Lay off the Seniors, get the kids straight out of college.

Don't even need to! Fire the seniors and hire seniors at junior rates.

Software engineers are gonna learn the word “union” at some point. The job that’s the hardest to disown workers of the means of production could use some solidarity movement.

Problem is, the movement needs to be global. Which I don’t expect to happen.
