Avalanche Studios Group Layoffs and Office Closure
The Avalanche Studios Group has announced the layoffs of employees and the closure of an office, following reviews conducted by management to position itself for long-term success.
The studio in Liverpool, UK, will be closed and all employees laid off. According to the territory’s law, it is required to give advance notice to begin the consultation process with the employees who will be losing their jobs.
The teams in Stockholm and Malmo, Sweden, will also be losing employees as Avalanche aims to adapt to its needs. This seems to suggest that the cuts are closely related to the cancellation of Contraband, which was being developed for Microsoft.
