Swedish Developer Overhauls Operations with Bold Shift Toward Heist Game Focus

This update reflects a major internal change at a well-known Swedish developer. The studio, recognized for its work on GTFO and its upcoming heist-themed project, has announced a broadening shift in its operations that now includes reducing its workforce.

The company is currently undertaking an extensive internal reorganization aimed at streamlining its focus on the highly anticipated heist game. This project is seen as a pivotal return to the genre pioneered by many of the minds behind the Payday series, and the studio is determined to shape the game into an experience it truly deserves.

Key aspects of the current transition include:

• A comprehensive evaluation of in-house processes and the studio’s overall structure.
• The elimination of many positions, with the process affecting numerous roles even among the original founders.
• The continued strong commitment from leading figures within the company to advance the project and drive the studio ahead.

While specifics regarding the number of positions affected or the projected launch date for the new title remain unknown, the development team is working diligently to share updates once more concrete plans are in place.
