Supermassive Games, responsible for hits like Until Dawn, The Quarry, and the Dark Pictures series, have declared they will initiate layoffs.
The latest update regarding our studio has been shared on our social media platforms via an official announcement. To adapt to the constantly changing and demanding nature of our industry, we regrettably have to let go of as many as 36 team members.
Based on data from 2023, Supermassive Games employs around 350 individuals. This means that the reduction period will likely decrease their workforce by about 10%.
The statement indicates that the decision was carefully considered, understanding it will be a challenging period for everyone. What’s most important is providing comprehensive assistance to everyone who is impacted by this situation.
Well, here’s a more casual way of expressing it from a gamer’s perspective:
Hey there fellow gamers! I’ve got some news about Directive 8020 – the next chilling horror game in Supermassive’s Dark Pictures series. Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer than expected. Originally slated for launch on October 2nd, 2025, it’s been pushed back to the first half of 2026 now. So, looks like we’ve got a bit more time to hype ourselves up for this spine-tingling adventure!
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! Rest assured, there’s no hiccup in the progress of Little Nightmares 3. Mark your calendars for 10th October 2025, as we’re still on track for its release!
So far, the reception to Directive 8020 has been outstanding, and the extra time granted will enable us to provide an exceptional experience for our audience. We greatly appreciate the understanding and backing from our community.
Once more, it’s truly regrettable when jobs are lost. Over the past few years, there have been numerous layoffs within the sector, and it appears that we may not have left the challenging times behind just yet. My best thoughts go out to everyone impacted.
