The development team that was working on the upcoming Deadpool title at High Moon Studios has been hit with layoffs, reports Kotaku. About 40 people, having already finished their work on the game, have been let go.
In a statement to the outlet, Activision detailed the news:
“Activision Publishing consistently works to align its costs with its revenues – this is an ongoing process. With the completion of development on Deadpool, we are taking a reduction in staff at High Moon Studios to better align our development talent against our slate. Approximately, 40 full-time employees will be impacted globally. We are offering those employees who are impacted outplacement counseling services.”
To the best of my knowledge, the Deadpool game still has yet to get a definitive release date.
