Crop Circle Games is an independent development team that was founded in 2021 and announced in 2022 by Jeff Strain, the former founder of the Undead Labs development team behind the States of Decay series of games. Since its announcement, the team has begun working on its first project, which is a project that focuses on the narrative aspect and an open world. .
Now, reports have spread about the layoff of a number of employees, reaching about 13 employees, with a number of those who were laid off indicating that work on the team’s project has stopped, which paints an unpromising picture about what is happening behind the scenes, and perhaps closure will be the fate of the team.
The team operates under the umbrella of Prytania Media, a publishing company that Strain founded with his wife Annie Delisi Strain, which includes three other development teams with most of these teams focusing on developing massive AAA games.
