“Amid deteriorating results, and despite the actions already taken, the company is now compelled to consider a reorganization project to safeguard its competitiveness in an increasingly demanding and competitive ecosystem,” Don’t Nod said when reporting its latest earnings.

“This project could impact Don’t Nod’s workforce in France and may affect up to 69 jobs. An initial exchange took place today with the employee representative bodies, and an information-consultation process with these same bodies will subsequently be initiated regarding this project.”

Despite the falling revenue and reduction in staff, the company says ongoing development of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage as well as two other games will continue.

Considering how bad the games are they're lucky to still have a studio.

The fact that they’re still just “Life is Strange developer” nearly a decade on is why. Their only thing of note being starting a franchise someone else has a better hit rate with isn’t a great situation to be in.

It was great though. Is any of their other stuff worth seeking out?

They’re only putting LiS in the title bc the new one just came out - they haven’t been in charge of the franchise since LiS 2. Misleading, downright damaging to a brand for no reason.

Banishers was absolutely incredible and it sucks that it didn't reach an audience.
