It is difficult to say exactly how many people have lost their jobs.
The Blackbird Interactive studio, which is completing the development of the Homeworld 3 strategy, has carried out a series of layoffs. The reductions in the studio were announced by the developers themselves, who lost their jobs.
The layoffs were not officially announced; we do not know how many studio employees were laid off. As Game Developer notes, the layoffs took place shortly after the release date of Homeworld 3 was postponed by two months.
And here’s another story
Please note: we do not know what specific projects the fired developers were working on. In addition to the Homeworld 3 team, Blackbird Interactive has several other divisions working on other projects.
This is at least the second staff reduction at Blackbird Interactive over the past year. The last time the studio fired developers was in August 2023, when several unannounced games were cancelled.
