People Can Fly Cancels Two Projects — Layoffs Follow After Gemini and Bifrost Shutdown

Polish developer People Can Fly, best known for Outriders and Bulletstorm, has officially canceled two of its in-development titles — including one created in partnership with Square Enix. In a public statement, CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski confirmed the cancellation of Project Gemini, a joint production with Square Enix, and Project Bifrost, a self-funded VR title.

The cancellations have unfortunately led to staff layoffs. According to Wojciechowski, Project Gemini was shelved after Square Enix failed to deliver “a new content rider or clear communication about the project’s future.” Project Bifrost, on the other hand, was scrapped following an internal review that revealed insufficient resources to bring the game to completion.

Despite the setbacks, People Can Fly continues to work on Gears of War: E-Day, in collaboration with The Coalition. The title is currently slated for release on Xbox Series X|S and PC, though rumors suggest it may also be heading to PlayStation 5, following the recent announcement of Gears of War: Reloaded set to launch this August.
