The Netflix transmission giant has fired the staff in Oxenfree Developer Night School Studio.
According to the game developer, an un specified number of workers were told that their services were no longer required last month, which was a shock for the independent games company.
Netflix declined to comment on the report.
Better known for his Oxenfree games, Night School Studio was bought by Netflix in 2021 as part of the continuous plans of the transmission giant to expand to interactive entertainment.
The first Night School Studio game, Oxenfree, was acclaimed in its initial launch in 2016. The story of narrative adventures of lateral displacement presented a group of adolescents caught in some spooky science fiction pranks and received praise for their dialogue and atmosphere.
The appearance of study tracking in 2019, about a character that tried better to Satan in a drinking game, did not seem to reach the same level of recognition. In 2023, Night School Studio returned to Oxenfree with a direct sequel: Oxenfree 2: Lost signals, which was well received.
It is currently not clear what the night school study is working below, although today’s report establishes that the company’s layoffs will not change their product pipe.
In October 2024, Netflix closed an important study of internal games led by the creative chief of Halo Joseph Staten, and apparently discarded his great budget game before it was announced.
Earlier this month, Netflix celebrated its greatest increase in quarterly subscribers in history by increasing United Kingdom prices once again.
