Mass layoffs expected at A44 Games despite strong initial interest in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.
A44 Games, the studio behind the recently launched title Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, is reportedly facing internal clashes, with sources indicating that mass layoffs are close.
We got the news right after the developer’s announcement that the game had over, 500k players since its launch.
According to Steam Charts, the peak concurrent player count for Flintlock on Steam reached only 541 since its release. The number is really low, and it falls below the industry benchmarks.

Layoffs Already Started in A44 Games
According to our sources, the staff members have already begun to leave the New Zealand-based studio. This report directly contradicts the positive player engagement figures shared by A44 Games.
I do agree the 500k player milestone is impressive on paper, but actual sales are believed to be lower. Data from Steam Charts, a third-party tracking service for the popular PC gaming platform Steam, show that the peak player count since its release is only 541.
A44 Games has not yet commented on the reports of staff departures or potential layoffs. The studio’s future plans, including any ongoing support for Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn or development of new projects, remain uncertain at this time.
