French studio Don't Nod has implemented layoffs affecting multiple departments, with exact numbers unconfirmed.
The layoffs follow a series of challenges for Don't Nod, including pausing unannounced games and adjusting projects to attract a broader audience.
Allegations of mismanagement by French union STJV were made against Don't Nod regarding contradictory directions and staff welfare concerns.
The situation escalated with STJV accusing the studio of creating a hostile environment with planned layoffs, leading to a reorganization project and subsequent layoffs.
