Layoffs at Sniper Ghost Warrior developer CI Games

Restructuring despite studio hitting profitability and one million in sales for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3

Layoffs at Sniper Ghost Warrior developer CI Games

Polish games firm CI has revealed that its 2017 release Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 had sold more than one million copies, but has revealed it has downsized the studio.

In a blog post on the company's site, CEO Marek Tyminski said that the project was "relatively successful" despite a "middling media reception". Furthermore, the studio was profitable.

"Toughest decision"

The exec says that laying off staff was the best way for the company to move forward, but said that the decision was not an easy one.

“The decision to downsize the studio was the toughest decision I have taken over the past years—it is never easy to let go of friends and colleagues with whom we’ve worked for years–however I truly believe that it was the best way to move forward," Tyminski said.

CI Games has released a number of its titles, including Lords of the Fallen and Sniper Ghost Warrior, on mobile.
