ZA/UM, the studio best known for Disco Elysium, has announced a new round of layoffs that could affect as many as 32 employees. The move comes only two months after the release of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies, adding another difficult chapter to the studio's recent history.
According to the available details, the UK-based developer shared the news in a public statement. While the full explanation was not included in the trimmed report, the announcement makes clear that the cuts could impact dozens of staff members.
The timing is notable because it follows closely behind the launch of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies. Layoffs so soon after a release are likely to draw attention from players and industry observers watching how studios manage staffing around new projects.
ZA/UM remains closely associated with Disco Elysium, one of the most talked-about role-playing games in recent years. This latest layoff announcement puts the focus back on the company itself, as the studio faces fresh uncertainty despite having recently brought out a new title.
