February 15, 2026 - 01:52

10 Chambers Collective, the studio behind the highly anticipated co-op heist game Den of Wolves, has confirmed a substantial round of layoffs impacting its workforce. The cuts are described as affecting a "large number" of employees and notably include "several" of the company's own co-founders.

The studio stated the difficult decision was made to ensure its long-term sustainability and to "adapt to the current market climate." This phrasing suggests broader economic pressures within the video game industry, which has seen widespread job losses over the past year. The departure of multiple founding members marks a significant internal shift for the close-knit team, known for its previous work on GTFO.

Despite this organizational upheaval, the developer insists its flagship project remains the absolute priority. In an official communication, the studio affirmed its commitment to delivering Den of Wolves, emphasizing that development on the ambitious title continues. The game, set in a futuristic metropolis where players undertake elaborate criminal operations, has generated considerable interest since its announcement. The studio now faces the challenge of steering its vision forward with a restructured team, aiming to meet player expectations amidst internal change. Further details regarding the project's timeline or the scope of the restructuring were not immediately disclosed.
