Build a Rocket Boy, the studio founded by ex-Rockstar Games veteran Leslie Benzies, has announced a redundancy process, signaling potential layoffs. This decision follows the disappointing launch of their debut action game, MindsEye, earlier this month.
The game was met with criticism due to widespread bugs and performance problems, contributing to the studio’s current restructuring. While the exact number of employees affected remains undisclosed, the move indicates significant internal changes within the company. Build a Rocket Boy confirmed the process in a statement, prompted by initial reports of layoffs surfacing. This retrenchment marks a challenging period for the studio after the highly anticipated, yet ultimately flawed, release of MindsEye.
