Modern Wolf lays off six staff in studio restructuring

Game publisher Modern Wolf has cut six jobs, according to those at the company.

These reductions seem to have primarily affected the marketing and community departments, along with the production and art. Per ex-brand head George Willard, the cuts were made as part of a larger "company restructuring" at Modern Wolf.

"Whilst we've known about this potential outcome for a short while, the news still feels like a gut punch," he wrote. "It's been a great joy being able to help bring your games to market and as many players as possible."

In Willard's post (and others), he specifically names his fellow affected coworkers, along with a short blurb advocating for why they should be hired. As for himself, he and Modern Wolf's senior comms manager Sophie A. plan to start "something new."

Founded in 2019, Modern Wolf has published a number of third-party games from indie studios like Cabo (Zero Sievert) and Whalenought (Mechajammer). Its most recent release, Afterschool's Cantata, released in August 2023.

To date, the studio hasn't published any games in 2024. Its next release is Finite Reflection's Void Sols, but that currently lacks a release window.
