People Can Fly Cancels Two Games, Plans to Downsize Teams
A video game company called People Can Fly, known for games like Outriders, is stopping work on two secret games.
They said it's because they didn't agree with the company that was helping them publish the games, and they ran out of money to keep going.
This also means the company will have fewer workers than before, as they need to change how they work.
This follows other recent cuts in the video game industry, showing it's a tough time for some game developers.
People Can Fly, the developer of Outriders, canceled two unannounced projects.
The studio cited disagreements with the publisher and financial constraints as reasons.
The cancelled projects were codenamed Project Gemini and Project Bifrost.
The studio will be reorganizing and downsizing its teams.
This follows previous layoffs, including over 150 employees last year.
