Bit Reactor, the developer behind the recently released Star Wars: Zero Company, has reportedly furloughed a majority of its staff amidst an internal legal battle between its founders. The studio, established in 2021 by veterans aiming to innovate in the tactical combat genre, saw these workforce reductions occur just as the game was launching. Court documents revealed the extent of the disruption, highlighting a stark contrast between the game's positive critical reception and the instability within the organization. The dispute complicates the future of the studio, which had high ambitions for the franchise.
