Embracer layoff streak continues, with 3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks latest to be affected
15.12.2023 - 11:37 / eurogamer.net
3D Realms and Slipgate Ironworks are the latest studios to be affected by Embracer's restructuring program.
While Embracer is yet to publicly comment on these particular layoffs, Eurogamer understands the news to be accurate, while several team members have said they have been affected.
3D Realms founder Scott Miller shared his sadness on X (formerly Twitter). «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 Realm,» he wrote.
«A lot of people, including core devs, will be looking for work asap. Hopefully they land jobs soon. This one hits me hard because I worked with the new 3DR from 2014 up until when they were bought out by Embracer 2.5 yrs ago.»
Others have also shared news of Embracer's most recent wave of redundancies. «For Christmas this year, I got laid off!» shared level and sound designer Michael Markie.
Lead character artist Lars Bundvad-Åmodt, whose work you can see in the header image of this article, is also one of the many seemingly affected, posting: «Bad news times».
Last night I was laid off from 3DRealms/SlipgateIronworks and now I must undertake the journey of looking for new opportunities
if anyone is looking out for a programmer that can do Graphics/AI/Porting/Engine stuff (and non-Unreal projects) please hit me up
Hello!
Earlier today i was laid off from 3DRealms/Slipgate, and am now looking for work!
I've been a Texture Artist (photoreal/stylized) for many years in a multitude of projects, and have some experience in the UI/UX department as well.
