Beleaguered MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy has reportedly been rocked by another round of redundancies at the studio, according to Kotaku. This marks the third time the studio has been struck with layoffs in the past year.
While Build a Rocket Boy is yet to publicly comment on the layoffs, Kotaku reports that sources have indicated that around 170 staff have been impacted, and that the studio is now hovering at approximately 80 remaining employees.
A number of Build a Rocket Boy staff have subsequently been spotted referencing “the latest redundancies” at the studio in LinkedIn posts announcing they’ve been unfortunately laid off, including senior game designer James Tyler, audio designer Tom Cross, and more. Several members of the community team have also publicly confirmed they’ll no longer be working with Build a Rocket Boy via the official MindsEye Discord channel.
