It just wouldn't be a day in the games industry without some dispiriting news about layoffs, would it? This time the company cutting back on staff is Liquid Swords, the studio founded by Christofer Sundberg, formerly Chief Creative Officer at Avalanche Studios and creator of the Just Cause series.
In a statement (via Game Developer), Sundberg explained that Liquid Swords was founded in 2020 with the intent "to build a studio redefining game development with a small, expert-driven team and a sustainable work model." Yet while he claims the company achieved "much" of this goal, "shifting market conditions prevented us from succeeding in our timeframe." Consequently, Liquid Swords has made the "incredibly difficult" decision to "part ways with talented individuals who have been instrumental in our journey."
