The development team ZA/UM Studio announced today that it has informed 32 employees that they will be laid off or are at risk of being laid off soon after the team’s new game ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies failed to achieve the desired commercial performance despite receiving excellent media reception.
The team is saddened by the necessity of this decision and affirms that its standards and vision will remain unchanged, urging colleagues in the industry who are looking for employees to hire those affected by this decision. The team gained notable fame with its release of the distinctive puzzle and adventure game Disco Elysium in 2019.
