Crossfire Developer That's No Moon Lays Off Fourteen Staff Members
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Developer That's No Moon has reportedly laid off 14 staff members just two months after revealing their upcoming cinematic shooter, Crossfire.
That's No Moon, a prominent studio featuring veterans from Naughty Dog and Infinity Ward, has reportedly laid off 14 staff members. According to reporting by Rock Paper Shotgun, multiple developers took to social media to share the news, including a senior concept artist and an environment artist seeking new opportunities. The cuts arrive just two months after the studio formally unveiled Crossfire, an ambitious cinematic military shooter with sci-fi elements.
The sudden downsizing raises immediate questions about the project's trajectory, especially since the game does not yet have a confirmed release date and has only shown a brief initial reveal trailer highlighting an adaptive cover system and stealth mechanics. This new entry builds upon the broader Crossfire intellectual property, a tactical shooter franchise that has experienced a complicated history of spin-offs and short-lived releases across various platforms over the years.
Studio leadership has not yet provided a clear explanation for the layoffs. For a team that formed roughly five years ago and is still working toward its debut release, losing a portion of the workforce at this stage is a concerning development. Our solidarity goes out to all the affected developers navigating these unexpected industry cuts.
