Ninja Theory Starts Letting Staff Go While Supermassive Cuts More Than 70

Hellblade studio Ninja Theory has started UK redundancy consultations after Xbox said two deals to buy or save it fell through, VGC and Kotaku reported on October 5. Staff posted exits on LinkedIn, and a gameplay programmer said the team will not get to finish its work, putting Senua, announced at June's Xbox Showcase for 2027, in doubt. The same day, Until Dawn studio Supermassive confirmed more than 70 departures, under six months after Directive 8020 launched.
