Released Jun 1, 2022
Supermassive Games, the UK studio behind cinematic horror franchises including Until Dawn, The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures Anthology series, has announced its third round of layoffs in three years, with up to 75 employees affected. The studio cited the need to "ensure sustainability" as the reason for the redundancies.
The layoffs come roughly three months after the release of Directive 8020, the studio's most recent title, which received a mixed response from players and critics. The redundancy consultation process has begun, marking another significant staffing reduction for a studio that has already weathered two previous rounds of job cuts in recent years.
