Humble Games Lays Off 36 Employees Amid Ziff Davis Restructuring
Jul 23, 2024, 07:25 PM
Humble Games, the indie game publisher known for titles like Signalis and Unpacking, has reportedly laid off all 36 of its employees. The layoffs occurred without apparent prior warning, leading to widespread industry concern. Humble Games, which recently published Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus, is undergoing restructuring rather than a complete shutdown, according to a statement from the company. The restructuring is said to have no impact on Humble Bundle's operations, and ongoing and future projects are expected to continue unaffected. The closure of Humble Games, a seven-year-old label owned by Ziff Davis, is seen as a significant loss for the gaming industry, particularly given its role in supporting indie developers.
