Layoffs Hit Inflexion Games As The Halloween Patch Drops In Nightingale
According to statements from laid off staff, the UK subsidiary is closing.
Earlier this week, staff at Nightingale developer Inflexion Games revealed via social media that there have been layoffs at the company. A post from Audio Director Jon Newman stated not only that he’d been laid off but that the UK subsidiary of Inflexion is closing, affecting his team as well as others.
Yesterday, we reached out to Inflexion for information on the layoffs, but have yet to hear back. That said, as reported on MassivelyOP, Inflexion CEO Aaryn Flynn shared a vague statement about the layoffs on Discord. According to the statement, the company “lost some folks recently, as [they’re] working through changes to the overall shape and size of [the] studio”. The statement goes on to say that the developers in question are “wonderful developers who have contributed greatly to Nightingale, and they’ll be missed”. He also made assurances that the company plans to continue working on Nightingale.
It would appear the last part of the statement is true for the time being as a new patch was released, introducing the survival game’s Halloween event. Players can talk with Puck to trigger the event, which promises seasonal accessories and decorations as rewards.
