Build A Rocket Boy has confirmed that it is undergoing layoffs less than a month after the release of its first game, MindsEye. The company has initiated a formal consultation process that may result in redundancies, affecting around 100 employees out of approximately 500. MindsEye, a futuristic single-player narrative action game created by former Rockstar Games producer Leslie Benzies, faced a challenging launch due to poor reviews and technical issues. Despite plans for extensive content updates and multiplayer features, the layoffs underscore difficulties in meeting expectations amid strong competition from established games like Fortnite and Roblox. Build A Rocket Boy remains committed to its promises for MindsEye and aims to handle the transition transparently and respectfully.
