Splash Damage just told everyone at the studio they might be out of a job after kicking off companywide consultation talks that could hit the entire staff. The veteran support studio got bought by some mystery private equity crew back in September after breaking away from Tencent, but things went sideways fast instead of getting better.
The shop has been struggling to ship anything since Outcasters launched and died with Google Stadia five years back. Their big Transformers Reactivate project got canned earlier this year and triggered layoffs, while recent work has been limited to backing up titles like Star Wars Hunters and Gears Tactics. The studio has been around for two decades, but might not make it through this round of cuts if the consultation wraps badly.
