More focused. Fewer developers.

Six months after promising no layoffs, Fenris just cut EVE Frontier jobs.

Fenris Creations — formerly CCP Games — confirmed Nov. 5 that it's cutting an undisclosed number of roles on its blockchain spin-off EVE Frontier. Engineering and QA staff were among those who said publicly they'd been made redundant.

The studio says Frontier's own leadership proposed the cuts for a "more focused development structure," and that the game remains in active development. In May, when it bought itself back from Pearl Abyss in a $120 million deal, Fenris said the ownership change involved no restructuring or layoffs. New statement: that was the plan then.

Frontier is on Sui Testnet, Cycle 7. Each cycle ends with a full universe wipe. The roster just got one early.
