Canadian developer Eidos Montréal has announced a significant reduction in its workforce, with 75 employees facing redundancy as part of the conclusion of one of its operational mandates. The studio shared this news via a post on LinkedIn, emphasizing that this decision does not reflect the dedication or skills of the affected staff members.
Transition and Support for Affected Employees
In their communication, Eidos Montréal expressed regret over the necessity of these layoffs, stating, “Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to entirely reallocate them to our other ongoing projects and services.” The company reassured stakeholders that the decision was not indicative of the employees’ performance but rather a strategic move in response to changing project requirements.
As these talented professionals prepare to enter the job market, Eidos Montréal is committed to providing support during this transition period. The studio remains focused on advancing its ongoing projects and maintaining its dedication to delivering quality content in the gaming industry.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of similar news from Crystal Dynamics, another studio under the Embracer Group umbrella, which recently laid off 17 employees. The current climate within the gaming sector reflects ongoing adjustments as companies navigate the evolving landscape of project demands and market conditions.
