Polish game studio People Can Fly shut down two major projects. CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski shared the news on social media. The company stopped work on Project Gemini and Project Bifrost. Both games will never see release. The decision forces the studio to cut jobs and reduce team sizes.
Project Gemini faced problems with publisher Square Enix. The publisher stopped talking about future work on the game. Square Enix never sent new contract terms for upcoming milestones. The game had already lost 30 workers earlier this year. People Can Fly had worked with Square Enix before on Outriders.
Project Bifrost was the studio's final virtual reality game. Company leaders realized VR markets remain weak. The studio lacks money to finish and launch the project. Management studied cash flow and found no path forward. They decided VR gaming needs more time to grow.
People Can Fly cancelled Project Dagger last year. Take-Two was going to publish that action adventure game. The studio keeps working on two active projects. Microsoft hired them for Gears of War E-Day. Sony also has them making a game based on one of their franchises.
