Star Wars Zero Company Studio Furloughed Many Employees Weeks Before Release
Developer Bit Reactor furloughed a significant portion of its staff weeks before the release of Star Wars Zero Company, a decision confirmed by a company representative as necessary for survival. This news comes amidst a lawsuit filed by co-founder Alison Kelly and reports of employees working without pay, though the company plans to rehire furloughed workers post-launch. Despite these internal issues, the game has received critical acclaim and positive player reception on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
