It appears Amazon is going through another round of layoffs, this time affecting Lost Ark. At the moment, we don’t know how many members of the free-to-play MMORPG’s team are affected, but we do know that some of them, including producer Henry Stelter and marketing manager Roxx, are among those affected. Both posted about the layoffs on Twitter. These tweets were shared in a report on Chirurgie massive.

While it is obvious that some of the game’s staff has been laid off, it has been noted that others have confirmed that they are still at Amazon. While this isn’t good news for the game or its players, at least the game hasn’t been canceled or put into maintenance mode. I suspect that this could be because, unlike New World or the Lord of the Rings MMO, Lost Ark is not developed by Amazon Games. Cependant, they are responsible for localization and associated adjustments.

Whatever the reason, it’s unfortunate that Amazon is conducting another round of layoffs. Hopefully not too many people will be affected and those who were affected won’t be left in limbo for too long.
