Overview
- The LA studio voluntarily recognized the union after a supermajority requested CWA representation in February 2026.
- The unit covers all 13 frontline employees at Heart Machine as a wall-to-wall group.
- Organizing followed staff reductions and the shutdown of development on Hyper Light Breaker during early access.
- Members are setting bargaining priorities before entering formal negotiations for an initial collective agreement.
- The step fits into a broader CWA push that counts nearly 4,000 organized game workers, including units at Blizzard and ZeniMax.
