Splash Damage Announces Staff Layoffs
Developer Splash Damage has confirmed that it will be laying off a “small number” of staff members. The decision comes after employees expressed concerns about the security of their jobs on social media.
In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, Splash Damage explained that the layoffs are a result of a recent business review. The studio needs to restructure in order to better align with the needs of their current and future game projects.
The company clarified that the majority of the affected roles are on the operations side of the business, with the development teams remaining mostly untouched. Splash Damage assured that all games, whether announced or unannounced, are still in progress.
Splash Damage, now owned by Tencent following the acquisition of Leyou Technologies Holdings, expressed empathy for those impacted by the layoffs. The studio is dedicated to providing support for affected employees during this challenging time.
