Friday the 13th and Predator: Hunting Grounds developer IllFonic has been hit by layoffs as the team has "re-aligned to a refined strategy."
IllFonic CEO & Co-Founder Charles Brungardt shared the message on X/Twitter saying, "Today we had to accept the harsh reality that the state of the industry has impacted us here at IllFonic."
"It is with the heaviest of hearts that cuts to our team had to be made as we re-aligned to a refined strategy," he continued. "There is a lot of talent in this group and if you or your team is hiring, please reach out so people can be connected to open roles. Thank you."

IllFonic was founded in 2007 and has studios in both Lakewood, Colorado and Tacoma, Washington. It is currently unclear how many people were impacted by these cuts, but these layoffs are taking place just a few months after the release of the studio's latest game, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game.
In our Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game review, we said, "is as silly and entertaining as the movie that spawned it, and that makes for a surprisingly compelling asymmetrical multiplayer game to boot."
Alongside the previously mentioned games, IllFonic has also developed and supported such games as Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Arcadegeddon, Dead Alliance, Star Citizen, Armored Warfare, and Evolve.
