Quantic Dream announced on May 20 that its first new game in eight years would be abandoned just three months after launch. Spellcasters Chronicles, a free-to-play MOBA, has already been removed from Steam with servers set to go offline in June. But the project flopping so quickly will also lead to potential deep cuts within the Detroit: Become Human studio. Up to 95 employees could be laid off, and a French union is blaming management for the failure, including director David Cage.
