Blackbird Interactive julkaisee helmikuussa 2024 strategiapelinsä Homeworld 3. Tiukkaa kuitenkin on, sillä projekteja on kuopattu ja yli 40 työntekijää irtisanottu. Asiasta kertoi ensin Blackbird Interactiven tekninen taiteilija James Marshall LinkedInissä, ja myöhemmin saman varmisti myös IGN todeten 41 työntekijän saaneen potkut.
"We've had to take the unfortunate step of laying off some friends this week. This year has been incredibly tough on the industry as a whole. As a result, we've had several unannounced projects cancelled and yesterday were forced to say goodbye to 41 of our team members. As an independent studio, Blackbird Interactive has always been a close-knit team. Our top priority is helping position those affected for this next stage of their careers. We are offering a suite of extended benefits and severance to help ease this transition. No announced projects will be affected by this move, and we will continue to deliver on those games."
