Payday developer Starbreeze cancels D&D project, lays off staff
In a statement posted on its website, Starbreeze announced the cancellation of Project Baxter, its game based on Dungeons & Dragons. This decision followed a review of the company’s priorities, which determined that focusing on the Payday franchise is the best use of its resources. As a result, 44 employees and contractors working on the new game will be laid off. Starbreeze believes this will allow the company to achieve positive cash flow by 2026.
