- 0
The video game industry continues to navigate turbulent times, and recent developments in Canada have added to the concerns faced by studios worldwide.
A Canadian studio has recently seen 40 members of its team depart as part of a series of reductions. Industry reports indicate that this studio, once a vibrant hub for game development, is now feeling the ripple effects of broader economic challenges affecting studios globally.
The company released an official statement, mentioning that the move was a difficult one and does not in any manner diminish the skills, commitment, or overall impact of the affected team members.
Despite these adjustments, assurance was given that the production of the highly anticipated remake of a well-known stealth title will continue. This title, first announced back in December 2021, has seen a prolonged development phase with few new updates until now.
Furthermore, the studio in question will maintain its status as an integral member of multiple collaborative projects. This includes active participation in technical development projects and providing support for cinematic and performance capture efforts at another major development center.
- 40 employees impacted by recent changes
- The modifications were made after careful consideration
- Development on a prominent game remake remains unaffected
- The studio will continue to contribute to various joint efforts
