A post about payment delays at Gunzilla Games was published on the GameDev DOU forum. The author claims that problems with salaries have been going on since June 2025, and as of February 2026, some people have not received their final payment after being laid off.
This was reported by a user on the GameDev DOU forum, who identified himself as an employee of Gunzilla Games. According to him, at first the management explained the delays by a transfer failure and regularly called the same horizon for closing debts in two to three weeks. However, then, the author writes, the reductions began in waves. According to the internal assessment of the employees, more than half of the team left the company in a few months: someone was fired, someone left because it was impossible to work without regular payments. The people who were laid off were allegedly promised to quickly close their financial obligations, but the deadlines were constantly moving.
Since September 2025, the debt, according to the author, has also begun to accumulate for those who remained working: on average, it is about 4-6 months of unpaid salaries. The post also describes communication as irregular and without a specific schedule for debt repayment: meetings were held with small groups, assurances were made about the success of the project and the search for financing, but no clear payment dates were fixed.
Gunzilla Games positions itself as an international studio that released the shooter Off The Grid and has an office in Kyiv. The author emphasizes that the team includes Ukrainian specialists who work in Ukraine during the war, and calls not to normalize the months-long salary delays as «operational difficulties.»
