Crossfire layoffs — Crossfire studio has been hit with layoffs

Story Highlights

That’s No Moon has reportedly laid off an undisclosed number of employees.
The studio has yet to release or fully reveal its debut action-adventure game.
Crossfire creator Smilegate invested $100 million in the developer when it was established.

That’s No Moon has reportedly cut staff before launching its first game, adding another studio to the industry’s growing list of layoffs.

The number of affected employees remains unclear. According to IGN, former staff members disclosed the cuts through posts on LinkedIn. The impacted roles include technical and environmental artists.

That’s No Moon Has Yet To Launch Its First Game

Founded in 2021, That’s No Moon is a Los Angeles-based studio staffed by developers with experience at major companies such as Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studio, Infinity Ward, and Electronic Arts.

The studio revealed its first AAA offering, a narrative-driven, single-player title called Crossfire, at Summer Game Fest 2026, centered on two members of opposing factions, Layla Qassem and Delroy Cross, forced into a temporary alliance against a common enemy.

No official figures have been provided for the number of employees affected, and there is no confirmed release window for That’s No Moon’s game. Without a statement from the developer, it would be premature to assume the layoffs signal a cancellation or major reboot.

Crossfire is currently in development for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
