Content overview: “Star Wars Zero Company Developer Bit Reactor Brings Back Portion of Furloughed Staff”. Bit Reactor, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Star Wars Zero Company, has begun rehiring some of its furloughed employees, CEO Greg Foertsch confirmed to Game File. The move follows a difficult launch period in late August, when the game debuted to strong reviews but a significant portion of the team was placed on furlough. Foertsch said the studio has 'started the process of returning more of our team back to work,' though he did not provide exact numbers.

The studio is also dealing with an ongoing lawsuit involving Foertsch and co-founder Alison Kelly. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
