Don’t Nod has stated that up to 69 jobs are at risk due to a proposed company restructuring.
The French developer and writer, who has studios in Paris and Montreal, is known for games such as Generation is Extraordinary, Take me into account, Tell me why and Jusant.
“Amid the deterioration of results, and despite the measures already adopted, the company is now forced to consider a reorganization project to safeguard its competitiveness in an increasingly demanding and competitive ecosystem,” he said on Wednesday.
“This project could affect Don’t Nod’s workforce in France and could affect up to 69 jobs. Today a first exchange was held with the workers’ representative bodies and subsequently a process of information consultation will begin with these same bodies on this project.”
Don’t Nod stated that the restructuring would struggle to “rationalize the number of the company’s production lines, strengthen the role of the editorial board to better meet market expectations, restore greater organizational agility, align technologies for greater efficiency “. [and] ensure the financing of the company.”
The company stated that it is willing to collaborate with worker representatives “with the aim of reaching agreements on accompanying social measures, including the possibility of a voluntary dismissal plan, if the project is approved.”
Don’t Nod also showed plans to continue developing the closer narrative adventure game Lost News: Bloom & Anger, which will be released in early 2025, and two alternative projects, codenamed P 10 and P14, which will be scheduled for its launch before the end of 2027.
