Illuvium Cuts Wages to Extend Runway

This is a survival move dressed as a strategic pivot. Wage cuts signal that Illuvium's treasury can no longer support the studio's previous scope, and consolidating around a single flagship title — Overworld — is a bet that one game can carry the whole operation. For a sector that raised heavily on multi-title roadmaps, it's a reminder that token-funded studios face the same runway math as any startup. Whether Overworld ships before the extended runway runs out is the open question.
