Sign of the times, Metroid Dread and Castlevania developer MercurySteam announced it is laying off part of its development staff.

There is no easy way to share this kind of news, but today we must communicate that MercurySteam has initiated a workforce adjustment process.

While this is something common within the production cycles of our industry, it is nonetheless a difficult and painful situation.

We want to express our deepest respect, gratitude, and support for the people affected, whose talent, effort, and commitment have been an important part of the studio’s history.

If your studio or company is looking for experienced developers, please feel free to contact us at personasycultura@mercurysteam.com.
We will do everything we can to help these professionals find new opportunities.

Over the coming weeks, we will focus all our efforts on handling this process with the utmost responsibility, humanity, and respect for everyone involved.
