Bithell Games, the studio behind the acclaimed likes of Thomas Was Alone, John Wick Hex, and Tron: Catalyst, has announced job cuts impacting the “majority” of its full-time employees.
In a statement announcing the news on social media, studio founder Mike Bithell explained the company had been unable to secure a new larger scale project, meaning eleven jobs are now being made redundant. “This,” he noted, “constitutes the majority of our full-time staff”.
“It became clear leading up to the release of our most recent game that we were not immune to the challenges faced by many game development teams seeking funding partners in 2024 and 2025,” Bithell wrote. “We’ve fortunately been able to communicate these challenges ahead of time, and work with affected staff to ease departures as much as possible via severance pay.”
“It’s important to state that this was an incredible team of exceptionally talented people. If you’re a developer reading this, and you’re hiring; anyone among those affected would be a great addition to your studio, please reach out if we can help to put you in touch.”
