Mar 05, 2025 11:07 PM

Ballistic Moon, the studio responsible for the Until Dawn remake, has reportedly "effectively closed," following multiple rounds of layoffs. According to recent reports, the UK-based studio let go of about 40 employees last October and subsequently lost its remaining developers in December. This situation arose after unsuccessful efforts to secure funding or pitch new projects, leaving only the founders and a few non-developer staff. The studio's PR, marketing, and development teams have all been disbanded. Community feedback about bugs in Until Dawn remains unaddressed as there is no longer anyone to handle post-launch support.
