People Can Fly has announced the cancellation of two unannounced games, project Gemini and project Bifrost, largely due to communication failures with its publisher and financial constraints. CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski confirmed these decisions in a LinkedIn statement, expressing regret and sadness over the impact on the company's team, which will undergo significant downsizing. The studio had previously experienced layoffs of over 150 employees, indicating ongoing financial instability and pressure to streamline operations amidst these setbacks. The future of the studio remains uncertain following these difficult decisions.
"Today we made a very difficult decision to suspend the development of project Gemini and project Bifrost - the relevant current reports have been released to the market."
"The suspension of the Gemini project is a consequence of the fact that the Publisher has not presented us with a draft of the subsequent content rider to the Publishing Agreement covering the terms and conditions of further milestone on project Gemini and the lack of communication from the Publisher as to its willingness to continue or terminate the Gemini project."
"As a result, we have to significantly regroup as a studio and scale down our teams, which hurts the most."
