‘Please hire these people’: Life Is Strange devs Deck Nine cuts 20 percent of workers

Deck Nine Games, the development team that took over stewardship of DON’T NOD’s Life is Strange franchise in 2021 to produce True Colors, is the latest gaming studio to succumb to the wave of industry-widelayoffs.

It’s letting go of 20 percent of its staff, citing “worsening market conditions.” The announcement came via a statement on Feb. 27 to X (formerly Twitter), where Deck Nine described it as a “difficult decision”—one that echoes many made by other studios and publishers in 2024, including one from PlayStation that happened earlier today. “These people are amazing, talented and awesome developers,” the statement read. “They have made a huge impact during their time at Deck Nine Games and we did not take this decision lightly.”
