FuturLab trims staff after cancelling non-PowerWash project, refocusing on PowerWash Simulator 2

FuturLab laid off seven employees after cancelling a non-PowerWash project in pre-production because its costs would exceed projections. The studio says it remains committed to making PowerWash Simulator 2 and exploring new ideas, but anonymous reports describe internal restructuring and communication issues, including staff being told not to call it a redundancy and being labeled as “the leavers.” The company emphasizes the layoffs are intended to protect FuturLab's future and that PowerWash Simulator 2’s development will not be affected.
