Rumor: Armor Games Studios is laying off all employees
Former employees of indie publisher Armor Games Studios have shared on social media about significant layoffs. According to some of them, the company is cutting the entire staff.
The reason for the layoffs is unknown. The management of Armor Games Studios has not commented on the reports.
The history of Armor Games Studios began in 2004. Initially, the company, then called simply Armor Games, was involved in developing and publishing browser-based games but later expanded its portfolio. In 2015, it launched the label Armor Games Studios to publish mobile, console, and PC games.
According to information on the Armor Games Studios website, they are supposed to release four games by the end of 2024 — Defender’s Quest 2: Mists of Ruin, Snacko, Deep Sleep Labyrinth of the Forsaken, and Shift Legacy Collection. The release of the latter is scheduled for next week and is supposed to happen on August 7th. Considering the words of the laid-off employees, it is now unclear whether these projects will be released.
