Firaxis Games faces layoffs following Marvel's Midnight Suns release.

Several developers at Firaxis Games, the studio behind Marvel's Midnight Suns, have been laid off in what the parent company 2K calls "a sharpening of focus, enhancements of efficiencies, and an alignment of our talent against our highest priorities." Firaxis' most recent game, Midnight Suns, had a strong commercial reception but was deemed to have underperformed by Take-Two. The studio's immediate next project is a new entry in the Civilization series, and they have "new creative projects for our teams" in the works.
