Essentially, all remaining developers at Phoenix Labs have been let go, and it appears that their game ‘Dauntless’ along with the entire studio may be shutting down.
Based on conversations with former colleagues at the studio, it appears approximately 50 employees were let go today. Some of these workers have expressed concern that the Dauntless game may be defunct and Phoenix Labs could potentially close down, although Forte has not publicly confirmed this.
From what I’ve gathered from those in the know, I myself was taken aback when the news broke about the recent round of layoffs at Phoenix Labs. Surprisingly, it seems some speculated that it might have been a studio closure announcement instead.
Approximately a year ago, during the summer of 2023, the blockchain firm known as Forte took over Phoenix Labs. However, in May 2024, more than 100 employees at Forte were let go. Despite being asked for comment, Forte did not provide one prior to publication.
After an internal announcement, the Phoenix Labs team shared the news on their Discord server about layoffs. They expressed that a large portion of the development team at Phoenix Labs was impacted by substantial cuts today. This has been a difficult decision for us, and we are greatly troubled by the talented people who will be affected.
The discussion went on, pointing out that you might be wondering how this affects Dauntless and its upcoming events. Although we don’t yet possess every detail, rest assured we remain dedicated to keeping you in the loop and providing updates as they become available.
Your backing is priceless and deeply appreciated; we couldn’t ask for a better community. We’re thankful for your unwavering support as we navigate through tough times together.
Phoenix Labs, established in April 2014, has gained prominence for its games Fae Farm and Dauntless. Prior to being acquired by Forte, the studio was working on several other titles, which were subsequently terminated in the process of acquisition.
