Union Blasts Quantic Dream Leadership Over Live-Service Failure and the Potential for Up to 95 Layoffs: “Incompetence Led Us Here”

Quantic Dream is ending development of Spellcasters Chronicles after just three months and will remove it from Steam before taking servers offline in June.

The French union STJV says the failure could lead to up to 95 job cuts and blames management for poor decisions on scope, business model, and staffing.

The union also questions NetEase’s influence and says the collapse reflects deeper leadership problems at the studio.

The setback is a major blow for Quantic Dream’s first new game in years and raises concerns about future projects, including Star Wars Eclipse.
