Indie publisher Humble Games has brought a ton of great titles to Xbox in recent years, with many being included as part of Xbox Game Pass as well, so it's saddening to see that the company is undergoing a "restructuring" process.
This was announced earlier today in a statement on social media, in which the company called it a "difficult but necessary decision" that was brought about by "challenging economic times for indie game publishing".
Here's a look at the full statement:
"In these challenging economic times for indie game publishing, Humble Games has made the difficult but necessary decision to restructure our operations. This decision was not made lightly; it involved much deliberation and careful thought, with the goal of ensuring the stability and support of our developers and ongoing projects. Additionally, the restructuring of operations at Humble Games will have no impact on operations at Humble Bundle."
"We are acutely aware of the profound impact this decision has on our team members at Humble Games and deeply empathize with everyone affected. Our team's contributions have been world-class and invaluable, supporting the launch of our games since we started publishing in 2017. We are committed to navigating this transition with as much empathy and understanding as possible."
"Supporting our development partners and assisting former team members remains our top priority. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved. Thank you for your support and compassion during this challenging period. It is deeply appreciated."
Prior to this message, it was being reported by GamesIndustry.biz that a large number of employees had been laid off and that the company was closing. However, Humble Games has told the outlet that it is "not shutting down".
Some of the great Humble Games titles that we've seen on Xbox over the years include Temtem, Midnight Fight Express, Coral Island, Signalis, Supraland and Slay The Spire. Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus was also released last week.
