Behaviour Interactive Lays Off Mobile Dev Staff

Behaviour Interactive, the Montreal-based developer best known for the survival horror game Dead by Daylight, has laid off an undisclosed number of employees, primarily from its mobile and external development teams. The cuts, announced in a statement to the press, stem from a recent decline in demand for such projects, marking the studio's latest workforce reduction amid broader industry challenges.

A spokesperson for Behaviour Interactive attributed the layoffs to shifting market conditions. "A portion of Behaviour Interactive's business has traditionally focused on external development partnerships," the statement read. "In recent months, demand for mobile and casual external development projects has declined. As we conclude our remaining engagements and do not foresee comparable opportunities in the near term, we have made the decision to part ways with some colleagues. Those decisions are never easy, and we are grateful for the contributions of the affected employees, who have helped shape Behaviour and support our partners over the years."

The layoffs appear targeted and unlikely to disrupt ongoing work on major titles like Dead by Daylight or other core projects....
