It looks like Hyper Light studio Heart Machine may have suffered another round of layoffs, as multiple employees are reporting on social media (via Game Developer) that they've been let go. The reported job losses come just three weeks after a previous round of layoffs that saw more than a dozen people put out of work.

Three employees have posted about their layoffs on Bluesky so far, one on October 28 and two on October 29. Heart Machine community and PR manager Yiyi Zhang also posted a video on the 29th saying "Heart Machine has just laid off a bunch more people, effective immediately."
