Warframe developer Digital Extremes has confirmed a "number of" layoffs at the studio resulting from the closure of its publishing division. It's also announced it'll no longer be publishing free-to-play online action-RPG Wayfinder following the closure, and that full control of the property will return to developer Airship Syndicate.
In a statement provided to Eurogamer after news of layoffs at the studio was broken via PC Gamer, Digital Extremes wrote, "We can confirm we have made the difficult decision to cease operations of our external projects division."
"We have had to say goodbye to a number of hardworking and highly valuable team members as a result," the statement continued, "and we're working with Airship to transition full control of Wayfinder to them in the coming months."
