After announcing restructuring and departures at RedLynx (Trials), Ubisoft will be making additional layoffs at Massive Entertainment.
The Swedish studio behind The Division, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws confirmed the news in a statement posted on social media. While the number of layoffs is unknown, Massive Entertainment’s management is referring to it as a “voluntary career transition program”.
It’s always tough to hear about layoffs in the gaming industry. Change can be challenging, but I hope everyone affected finds new opportunities soon. Wishing the best for the teams involved during this transition.
I completely agree; layoffs are never easy for anyone involved. It’s interesting to see how these changes might impact future game development, especially with projects like Star Wars Outlaws on the horizon. Hopefully, the restructuring will lead to new opportunities and innovation in the long run.
