Tripwire Interactive, the developer behind Killing Floor and Maneater, has laid off 36 employees across the studio. The company said it would support affected employees through the transition in a statement on its official account, also quoted by GamesIndustry.biz. The company did not say which teams were affected.

The studio said Maneater 2 is in active development, while work on Killing Floor 3 and publishing under the Tripwire Presents label continues. The layoff statement did not give a release date or platforms for Maneater 2.

Days before the announcement, Tripwire expanded its publishing business to support smaller independent developers, according to GamesIndustry.biz. The same report says the company laid off 23 employees in an earlier round in March.
