Rough one. The team that built Luna Abyss, the bullet hell FPS that just dropped, has been laid off. We're talking weeks after release, not months, not a quiet quarter later. Weeks. If you played the game or were even just watching it, the people who made it are now out of a job.

This keeps happening and the pattern is exhausting. A small team grinds for years to ship something niche and ambitious, it lands, and before the playerbase even has time to grow word of mouth the studio gets gutted. Bullet hell mechanics in a first-person shooter is not an easy pitch and it's not an easy thing to build. Whether Luna Abyss found its audience or not almost doesn't matter at this point because the conversation about its future is already over. 2026 has been a brutal year for this and there's no sign it's slowing down. If you were curious about the game, now is probably the time to actually play it rather than add it to a wishlist.
