Wizard With a Gun developer Galvanic Games is closing down
==========
Galvanic Games, the developer behind Wizard With a Gun, is shutting down. Despite a promising start, sales of the game were not enough to sustain the studio. President and founder Patrick Morgan announced the closure, expressing gratitude for the team's dedication and hard work. Galvanic's closure is part of a tough period for the video game industry, with layoffs and studio closures affecting many developers. Last week, Avalanche Studios Group announced significant restructuring and layoffs, while Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin have been shut down entirely.

Sega is selling Relic Entertainment and cutting 240 jobs in Europe
==========
Sega has announced plans to sell Relic Entertainment, a Vancouver-based company specializing in real-time strategy games, to a holding company established by UK investment company Emona Capital LLP. The sale will result in the loss of 240 jobs in Europe, primarily at UK-based Creative Assembly, Sega Europe, and Sega Hardlight. Sega also announced that it will implement write-downs of work-in-progress for some titles in development, resulting in an expected loss of 5.6 billion yen ($31 million) as cost of sales. This decision is part of Sega's effort to streamline and focus on its core strengths in response to the changing economic landscape. Sega Europe had previously laid off 121 employees at Relic in May 2023 and cut a further 250 jobs in September 2023. The company is working closely with Relic on the transition and wishes them the best for the future.
