Supermassive Games has announced that its entering a consultation period as 
part of a reorganization, which it anticipates will end in staff layoffs. 

In a statement shared to Twitter / X today, Supermassive referred to the 
wider challenges that the games industry is currently facing, and noted that 
we arent immune to this. It added that many efforts had been made before this 
decision to avoid this outcome, and that the decision hasnt been made 
lightly. 

Its no secret that the games industry is currently facing significant 
challenges, and unfortunately we arent immune to this, the statement reads. 
After much deliberation and with deep regret, we are therefore undertaking a 
reorganization of Supermassive Games. As a result, we are entering into a 
period of consultation, which we anticipate will result in the loss of some 
of our colleagues. 

This is not a decision thats been taken lightly, with many efforts made to

It went on to acknowledge how unsettling and difficult the process will be 
for its staff, and confirmed that the company will be working closely with 
all those involved to make sure that things are conducted as respectfully and 
compassionately as possible. Supermassive will continue to focus on its 
strengths, as well as its upcoming games to ensure that the company remains 
sustainable, it said. 

At the time of writing, Supermassive Games hasnt publicly stated how many 
people it expects could be affected by this, but its been reported by 
Bloomberg that around 150 members of staff are at risk, with roughly 90 
expected to be laid off. TechRadar Gaming reached out to Supermassive for
