CD Projekt Red lays off 100 employees due to ‘overstaffing’

CD Projekt Red announced today that it’s laying off 9% of its staff, which is around 100 people. According to the company, this is part of a restructuring plan surrounding its work on new titles. This is the third time the company has laid off employees this year, with previous layoffs affecting staff at CDPR itself and its subsidiary studio Molasses Flood.

CDPR CEO Adam Kiciński explained the layoffs in a blog post, saying that CDPR is reevaluating its team and structure as it juggles multiple games in development. “There’s no easy way to say this, but today we are overstaffed. We have talented people on board who are finishing their tasks and — based on current and expected project needs — we already know we don’t have other opportunities for them in the next year.”
