Game development studio Splash Damage has separated from parent company Tencent according to industry reports. The developer previously contributed to major titles such as Gears 5, Batman: Arkham Origins, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory across its two-decade history. Company representatives declined to provide additional details about the departure from the Chinese technology giant. The studio maintains operations as an independent entity following the corporate separation.
The departure follows the cancellation of Transformers: Reactive, which resulted in workforce reductions at the facility. Management expressed disappointment about the terminated project and its impact on affected employees. The connection between the game's cancellation and the Tencent separation remains unclear to industry observers. Veterans welcome the studio's continued independence rather than potential closure after the corporate restructuring.
