Overview
- Splash Damage announced a consultation affecting all roles, notifying staff and confirming the move in a LinkedIn statement.
- Reporting indicates the process is expected to lead to layoffs, though the number of redundancies has not been disclosed.
- The consultation follows the studio’s September sale to unnamed private‑equity investors after several years under Tencent ownership.
- Earlier this year the studio canceled Transformers: Reactivate and made cuts, and it has not released a major title since 2020’s Outcasters.
- Outlets frame the move within a broader pullback in Western games investment and recent UK studio cuts, as the company pledges support for affected employees and explores retention options.
