Luna Abyss Dev Team Is Laid Off Weeks After Launch
TL;DR Summary
Kwalee Labs laid off the entire Luna Abyss development team—eight staff plus CEO Hollie Emery—weeks after the game’s launch on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC, a move described as outside the team’s control. Luna Abyss drew generally positive reviews (Metacritic around 81%) with a strong Steam launch peak of 18,597 concurrent players, but activity has since dwindled (24-hour peak about 310); the game remains available on its platforms as the industry contends with studio shakeups.
