Lost Boys Interactive Hit By Another Round Of Layoffs

by Rainier on Sept. 9, 2024 @ 5:13 p.m. PDT

Acquired by Gearbox Entertainment in 2022, Lost Boys Interactive announced that it has reduced its overall headcount in accordance with local laws and consultation processes.

Lost Boys Interactive has made the very difficult decision to reduce our overall headcount in accordance with local laws and consultation processes. As a remote first company, this impacts employees across several states.

We are committed to supporting our affected staff in finding new positions as quickly as possible. Additionally, Lost Boys will collaborate with other studios and recruiters to help connect them with job opportunities.

As a co-development partner studio, Lost Boys is directly influenced by the projects and priorities of our development clients. The need to adapt to shifting market conditions within the video game industry has required us to reassess our operations to align with the evolving needs of our business and our partners.

“Today is a challenging day for Lost Boys Interactive as we face the difficult decision to reduce our workforce,” says Shaun Nivens, CEO of Lost Boys Interactive. “We recognize the impact of this decision on our team members, who have contributed greatly to our success. Decisions involving staff reductions are never made lightly, and this action was taken only after considering all other options. We are committed to supporting them in every way we can during this transition.”

Lost Boys Interactive remains dedicated to delivering high-quality full development services to our current partners and clients. Our teams working on our ongoing titles remain in place as they are, and we continue to seek additional development opportunities moving forward.

In 2022, Lost Boys Interactive was acquired by Embracer Group and is a remote first co-development studio whose credits include the WWE2K series, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, PUBG, Diablo IV, New World, Zenimax Online and Snap On Tools.
