GTFO and Den of Wolves developer 10 Chambers has reportedly laid off staff.
Via LinkedIn, the 10 Chambers team lead programmer mentioned a “recent restructure” at the studio in a post earlier today, indicating that “there are a lot of incredibly talented, experienced, and genuinely great people now exploring new opportunities.”
“After just over a year working at 10 Chambers I find myself with this cool green border on my LinkedIn again!,” reads a LinkedIn post from one impacted employee.
“This wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card, but here we are wearing the green LinkedIn banner for a while,” another employee wrote. A third source who worked at 10 Chambers for over two years said they’ve “unfortunately been affected by recent changes,” mentioning the volatility of the game industry as of late.
In addition, Hjalmar Vikström, co-founder and chief development officer of the studio, reposted the team lead programmer’s post, saying that “if you are looking for talent that is experienced and readily available, look no further!
Yesterday, Vikström announced his departure from the studio after a decade. According to his LinkedIn post, he “said goodbye” to the company last week. Two of the sources wrote about their reported layoffs two days ago, but one of them wrote their post last week. Vikström, however, didn’t mention being part of the reported restructure, nor clarified the reason for his departure.
“If you know me you’ve heard this before: Making games is hard,” he wrote. “And these past years have taken their toll. But thinking back I’m proud of how we managed to punch above our weight and deliver GTFO.”
The reported round of job cuts would be the second one in two years. In February 2024, 10 Chambers confirmed layoffs as part of “changes to our organization” to TechRadar Gaming. At the time, CEO Ulf Andersson stated that five roles at the company had been disbanded.
Game Developer has contacted 10 Chambers for clarification on the matter.
