Double Fine lays off 12 following cancelation of unannounced project

Double Fine Productions, the studio behind Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, and Broken Age, was hit by layoffs last week, the company confirmed to GamesIndustry.

“One of our unannounced projects was unexpectedly cancelled by its publisher, forcing us to reduce our staff by 12 people,” studio head Tim Schafer told GamesIndustry in a statement. “Our remaining projects—Broken Age, Massive Chalice, and Grim Fandango Remastered, were unaffected.”

Double Fine most recently released Costume Quest 2 across consoles and PC, and launched their Kickstarter-funded turn-based strategy RPG–inspired Massive Chalice on Steam Early Access.
