FreeStyle Games, the developer behind last year’s late music game Guitar Hero Live has identified several unneeded staff.
According to Eurogamer, about 50 members of the team of over 100 staff have been identified as redundant.
Though actions were taken to retain staff from FreeStyle Games, the affected members were let go. FreeStyle Games, however, will remain open.
“Activision and FreeStyle Games leadership have been considering a range of future options for the studio, and have been consulting with staff to explore all alternatives. The collective team have now reached the end of a consultation exercise and the decision has been made to restructure FreeStyleGames to better align the studio resources with future business needs. We are working with the studio teams to explore options to rebalance staff within Activision Blizzard and its related organisations.”
We wish the former staff at FreeStyle Games well.
