Embracer has reportedly made layoffs at 3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks

Embracer Group has reportedly made layoffs at 3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks.
Scott Miller, who founded 3D Realms and now heads up indie publisher Apogee Entertainment, said he’d been told that at least half the developers at the Danish studios were being let go.
“Several sources have told me this bad news… Sorry to hear about another drop of the axe by Embracer Group, this time landing on Danish 3D Realms,” he said on X. “A lot of people, including core devs, will be looking for work asap.”
“More and more sources have told me at least half the company (Slipgate/3DR) is laid off,” he said in a follow-up post. “We’re looking at hiring at least 2-3.”
As spotted by Game Developer, Miller’s claim was corroborated by developer Michael Markie, who said that “for Christmas this year, I got laid off”.
Embracer, which acquired 3D Realms and Slipgate in 2021, announced in June that it was implementing a restructuring programme which would involve the closure of studios and the cancellation of some projects.
It has since shut studios like Saints Row developer Volition, Campfire Cabal and Free Radical Design, while others have reportedly been put up for sale, such as Borderlands maker Gearbox.
Embracer has made over 900 layoffs since the restructuring plan was put in motion, with the cuts also impacting studios including Crystal Dynamics, Beamdog, Zen Studios and Fishlabs.

SEGA’s excellent Yakuza series is well-known for its minigames, but Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth looks to seriously expand upon the expectations of fans with an unprecedented number of side-activities and distractions.

These are brand new ports, and it’s the first time SpikeOut has been playable on console since an iffy Xbox spin-off almost 20 years ago.
