Just a few weeks after the departure of its founders, Supermassive Games, the developer of Until Dawn, The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures Anthology series, has confirmed that it is undergoing a "reorganization," and that layoffs will occur as a result.
The layoffs were first reported by Bloomberg, which said 150 employees were notified that they are "at risk" of being let go, and that roughly 90 will be laid off. Supermassive is a British studio and thus subject to UK law requiring that employees be given a "consultation period" in advance of large-scale layoffs. Supermassive's LinkedIn page says the studio currently has more than 350 employees "working across a range of storytelling titles."
