Scavengers Studio, Developer of Acclaimed Game 'Season', Hit with Massive Layoffs.

Scavengers Studio has downsized by over half its staff after its photography-biking adventure game, Season: A Letter To The Future, failed to meet commercial expectations, selling only 60,000 copies in its first five months. The studio's CEO, Amélie Lamarche, said the layoffs were due to the game's financial results and the current global economic context. The studio will now focus on "gameplay-driven" experiences and building a game that embodies the same spirit of innovation, humour, and exhilarating fun that the Darwin Project offers. The Xbox and Switch ports of Season have been shelved due to the layoffs.
