Bithell Game Studios announced layoffs, affecting "most" full-time employees.The studio has created well-received works such as "The Lonely Thomas", "Speedly Chase: Hex", and "Creation: Catalyst".

Studio founder Mike Bithull released the news on social media, explaining that the company failed to win new large-scale projects and will cut 11 jobs.“This accounts for the majority of our full-time employees,” he said.

“On the eve of our latest production, we are gradually aware of the challenges faced by many game development teams in finding funding partners between 2024 and 2025, and we are not spared,” Bithull wrote. “Fortunately, we informed our employees of these difficulties in advance and facilitated the resignation of affected employees through resignation compensation and other means.”

"It must be said that this is a talented and talented team. If you are reading this message, you are a developer and are hiring, any of these affected employees can add to your studio. If you need help with help, please contact us."

Bithull finally pointed out that the layoffs will not affect the availability of the studio's own released games, nor will it interrupt the subsequent support for these games.“We are grateful to the player community,” he added, “I hope that everyone’s attention to our work can follow in the footsteps of the team members and support their new future work.”

“The value of Bithell Game Studios is always defined by and promoted by team members. And today, our strength is weaker.”
