MercurySteam, the developer behind Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and the Switch exclusive Metroid Dread, has announced layoffs in the same week its latest game Blades of Fire launches on Steam.
"There's no easy way to share this kind of news, but today we must communicate that MercurySteam has initiated a workforce adjustment process," the studio wrote in a LinkedIn post (via GamesIndustry) adding that, "while this is something common within the production cycles of our industry, it is nonetheless a difficult and painful situation."
