Rumors swirl: Infold Games allegedly lays off over 70% of staff on new projects amid development woes?

Recent reports from the Chinese gaming community allege significant internal restructuring at Infold Games, with rumors suggesting that over 70% of the staff on certain new projects may have been laid off. Alongside these rumors, the game 'Reverse Collapse' is reportedly suffering from development delays. It was also noted that the highly anticipated title 'Project: The Perceiver' is referred to internally as 'X7'.

The community is abuzz with speculation. Some observers argue that the developer spread its resources too thin by simultaneously pursuing multiple open-world, real-time tactical, and 3D otome projects. With legacy titles like 'Mr. Love: Queen's Choice' and 'Shining Nikki' entering a natural post-launch revenue decline, the delay in launching new flagship products has tightened the company's financial liquidity. Experienced players pointed out that 'Shining Nikki' has reached a stage where resources are abundant, making it less aggressive in monetization, which hints at a lack of new revenue drivers. The company has yet to provide an official statement, and these claims remain unverified.
