Journalists are reporting that the Studio has been impacted by layoffs:

Major layoffs at Fae Farm, Dauntless dev Phoenix Labs today. Two sources said over 100 people have been impacted. On LinkedIn, a former worker said all in development games have been cancelled, including one about to be announced. Devastating news — so sorry to those impacted.

They weren't kidding when they said 2024 is the bad year for developers.

Sucks, I liked both of those games. Have to imagine that means the dev is just running a skeleton crew to close things out then before shutting down, if they cancelled everything?

Too many farm games on the Switch? Did Animal Crossing steal all the genre?

The market might have actually met its saturation point. There really is a "time war" going on.

Played the hell out of Dauntless on switch and pc years ago. A lot has changed and I couldn't get back into it.

I loved Fae Farm though. The character interaction wasn't great but I really liked alot of the other mechanics.
