Three Fields Entertainment just put its entire staff on potential layoff after Wreckreation flopped hard at launch despite the studio grinding to fix bugs and add features players wanted. CEO Fiona Sperry said the indie dev won't see any game revenue for a while, and their publisher bailed on funding post-launch work, leaving them broke after self-funding most of the year.
The team is pushing one last update with crossplay before the holidays while desperately hoping someone swoops in to save them. This marks the second major miss for the studio after Dangerous Driving bombed back in 2019 with rough mechanics and boring tracks. The ex-Criterion devs who made Burnout can't seem to recapture that magic, and the whole situation sucks for everyone involved.
