Sumo Group refocuses on work-for-hire development

UK-based gaming company Sumo Group is shifting its focus towards the work-for-hire segment, which CEO Carl Cavers believes is crucial for long-term stability. He acknowledged that this decision will impact studios and employees but did not specify potential layoffs or the number of affected staff. Cavers emphasized the company's commitment to minimizing adverse effects on its workforce and supporting those impacted with transparency and care. Sumo Group aims to enhance its reputation as a premium development partner and leverage its expertise to create outstanding games for clients. The company previously laid off 15 percent of its staff in June 2024 and spun out Timbre Games into an independent developer in September 2024.
