Something Wicked Games has reportedly laid off most of its staff.

The studio was founded in 2022 by ex-RPG veterans from Bethesda, Obsidian and others who worked on games like Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim and are (were?) working on AAA RPG @wyrdsong.

Have a feeling this will happen to a lot of these new studios, there's still dozens who are years old and yet to release a game or even announce one, sad to see, as I was looking forward to some of these studios projects but with a stagnate/decreasing market, even having a studio full of veterans won't be enough to convince some investors to continue investing.

In this market, new studios are just too risky to invest in sadly. It's a shame to see so many of the new studios that opened in the last 4 or so years struggling and closing already.
