Supermassive Games laying off a third of their staff

Supermassive Games

Supermassive Games has announced they’re laying off a sizeable portion of their staff, the latest in ongoing industry-wide layoffs and cost-cutting.

The developer of horror games like The Dark Pictures Anthology and Little Nightmares III is reportedly laying off a third of its entire staff, or roughly 90 individuals (also via Bloomberg).

Here’s the full word from Supermassive Games:

It’s no secret that the games industry is currently facing significant challenges, and unfortunately we aren’t immune to this.

After much deliberation and with deep regret, we are therefore undertaking a reorganisation of Supermassive Games. As a result, we are entering into a period of consultation, which we anticipate will result in the loss of some of our colleagues.

This is not a decision that’s been taken lightly, with many efforts made to avoid this outcome.

We are all too aware of how unsettling and difficult this process is going to be for all our employees and will be working closely with all those involved to ensure the process is conducted as respectfully and compassionately as possible.

We’re committed to focusing our efforts on our core strengths and upcoming titles to ensure the continued sustainability of the company.
