Star Wars Zero brings back half its furloughed staff
Bit Reactor Brings Development Crew Back from the Furlough
The development world is buzzing with news from Bit Reactor, the studio behind the highly anticipated Star Wars Zero Company. After a period of necessary operational changes, the team is now in the process of bringing some of its development staff back onto the payroll, signaling a positive shift in the studio’s operational landscape.
Previously, the studio had implemented furloughs among its staff ahead of the game’s release. Now, as the studio works to recalibrate and grow, they have begun the process of rejoining key personnel.
Reports indicate that the number of staff currently on payroll has reportedly returned to “more than half” of the headcount they had prior to the furloughs. This move represents a significant step in stabilizing the team and ensuring that crucial development work can continue effectively.
Greg Foertsch, the boss of Bit Reactor, has expressed optimism about the future, asserting that the studio hopes to “eventually bring as many people back as possible.” This sentiment underscores a commitment to retaining talent and fostering a strong, collaborative environment moving forward.
The return of these developers is more than just a numerical update; it represents a renewed commitment to the creative vision driving Star Wars Zero Company. It is a story of resilience and the ongoing effort to keep exciting projects moving forward, one talented team member at a time.
