Last September, the creators of Just Cause and Mad Max carried out layoffs just a few weeks after Microsoft canceled Contraband.
At that time, Avalanche Studios also mentioned its intention to close its offices in Liverpool, England. That’s a done deal now. In a statement, the Swedish company confirmed the closure. A total of 31 people were laid off.
“The exceptional talent, passion, and commitment from everyone leaving us have impacted every project. We are truly grateful for the dedication and invaluable contributions to Avalanche Studios Group.
Our focus remains on supporting the Avalanchers through this transition and to carry on making great games for our player communities.”
