Crystal Dynamics was confirmed to be safe, but otherwise Embracer hasn’t mentioned which projects or which studios are going to be seeing cuts. Worrying news for a company which has made so many acquisitions in so little time, and which has only released a handful of notable games.

    Gonna presume the reason why they haven’t announced which studios are being hit is because they haven’t yet told them. So there’s now 15k+ people sat that their desks worrying if they’ll have a pay check in a few weeks time. That sucks.

    The restructuring will be overseen by Saber boss Matthew Karch and former Square Enix USA boss Phil Rogers, who have been tapped by Wingefors in new executive roles.

    That doesn’t inspire confidence after how Square Enix studios in the US were run.

    Really worrying that they wouldn’t announce which studios will get hit. The newest Saints Row was a bomb, but the rest of their companies seem to be doing pretty well. It would be annoying if good studios get laid off from this…
