Gamesindustry writes: "Ember Lab has been around since 2009, starting out as a company specialising in commercial animation and digital content. But a decade later it would make its mark in video games with the release of Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
So how did its co-founders, COO Josh Grier and chief creative Michael Grier, go from wanting to become filmmakers to making a game that would catch the attention of Sony just as it was preparing to unveil PlayStation 5?
Speaking to the two softly spoken brothers at Develop, the difference between media matters less than being able to tell a story with original content."
Behaviour Interactive is facing redundancies, with almost 100 people affected, mostly affected in Montreal.
Man this studio got hit with another round? it sucks there know for dead by daylight not saying that its a bad game because its not but because its from 2016 and this team has tossed a game out almost every year sense then but each game got worse and worse sales/notice.

Stuff like this looks like alot of work was done but so few sales this is what no doubt is causing all the layoffs.
January this year they laid off 45 people

95 is this week so this news is new

Just back to back waves of layoffs.
"The L.A.-based (the US) award winning indie games studio Ember are today very happy and excited to announce that their popular story-driven action-adventure game “Kena: Bridge of Spirits“, is coming to Xbox consoles (Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One) on August 15th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Not unless it's given away on GP, otherwise, this great game will barely be noticed.
@LoveSpuds that's unfortunate because Kena is a terrific game. Xbox gamers should come off their wallets and buy this because it's deserving to be purchased.
Hopefully gamers support this game instead of thinking every game should be on GP
Imo, they are very talented and creative. So I wish them the best of luck with their future game projects.
Yeah, superb game and despite it getting a decent reception, I still think a little under appreciated overall.
Heck of a decent challenge too, some of the later bosses were pretty brutal.
Might as well just put it on gamepass since it won't sell that well on Xbox. Putting it on gamepass will get more gamers to play a good game. It barely sold well on Playstation and PC 🤔

@ Ironmike Ok, now I expect you to provide proof that YOU bought it then, bigmouth. Sonic is not being negative he is stating facts. No one is going to buy this on Xbox.....including you dumbass.
Is it going to gamepass? If not and you have Xbox will you buy it?I have it on PS5 physical copy beat it but haven't platinumd it yet. It's kinda sad too 😞. But ye, great game, hope you guys purchase it.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Right. I definitely see what a headlined from a website named windows central was trying to do though. It's cute little wordplay to help out the green box
You're still ranting on an old article. Your comment to me 2 days ago didn't make any sense including this recent one. It's time to move on, get out of your basement & go on about life.
Loved the game!
Wish there was a sequel or something new coming from them!
Been really quiet for a long time now!
