Bit Reactor has begun the process of reintegrating staff members who were previously placed on forced leave. CEO Greg Foertsch confirmed that the studio is bringing employees back to work to support the ongoing development and maintenance of the turn-based tactical game, Star Wars: Zero Company.
The studio, founded by former Firaxis veterans, had placed a significant portion of its workforce on technical unemployment shortly before the game's commercial release. This move occurred following unexpected business turbulence that the company described as being outside of their control.
Foertsch acknowledged that the initial decision to sideline team members was incredibly difficult but necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the studio. He expressed pride in the team's accomplishments and noted that the positive public reception of the game has been a factor in the current recovery.
While the return of these developers is viewed as a positive development, the situation highlights the volatility of the gaming industry. The studio plans to share further details regarding its future trajectory soon, as it aims to continue supporting the title.
