Embracer has made a new round of layoffs, this time at Mythforce developer Beamdog less than 18 months after its acquisition.

Beamdog was acquired by Aspyr in April last year, whose parent company is Embracer.

Now 26 employees have been laid off, according to multiple LinkedIn posts and reported by GameDeveloper.

Beamdog was a Canadian video game developer that was founded by a Bioware co-founder.

The are known for releasing all of the Bioware and BlackIsle CRPG enhanced editions.

Pretty sad to see a blow like this to a good developer but I hope they find a way to get back into the field.
