Overview

• Supermassive has launched a redundancy consultation that could affect up to 36 positions at its Guildford studio.
• Directive 8020, initially scheduled for October 2, 2025, is now slated to arrive in the first half of 2026.
• The layoffs will not impede Little Nightmares III, which remains on track for its October 2025 release.
• The studio attributed the restructuring to a challenging, ever-evolving gaming market driving portfolio realignments.
• This move follows earlier layoffs in February 2024 and co-founder departures as Supermassive adapts under Nordic Games ownership.
