"Nine Envoys: Awakening" attracted many people's attention before its release, but after its release, the sales volume was bleak and only 10,000 copies were sold.The company canceled a new project under development and laid off employees because it failed to meet developer Reflector's expectations.
Reflector CEO Herve Hoerdt recently posted on LinkedIn that he had cancelled a new project in development because the company's first ambitious project failed.This failed project is obviously "The Nine Envoys".
Since "Nine Envoys" sales did not meet the company's expectations, it is considered that its game world is not worth continuing to explore.After Hoerdt admitted that Reflector was also in trouble and had to continue laying off employees after canceling the new project.
Hoerdt did not disclose the scale of the layoffs, and we are not sure which departments of the company were affected by the layoffs.But Reflector's QA, Marketing, Arts and Narrative divisions were reportedly affected.
In addition, Hoerdt also confirmed that they are currently developing a new work "based on Bandai Namco's existing IP". The project is developing smoothly, but he did not disclose the specific content about the work.
