Supermassive Games Finalizes Layoffs as Over 70 Developers Depart
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Supermassive Games has completed a major round of layoffs, parting ways with over 70 developers and staff members following a restructuring process announced earlier this year.
Supermassive Games has officially concluded its recent round of layoffs, resulting in the departure of more than 70 staff members across development, art, production, quality assurance, and operations. According to Eurogamer, the studio behind Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology originally announced the restructuring plans back in August to ensure long-term company sustainability.
This follows a previous wave of job cuts in July 2025 that caused delays for the sci-fi horror title Directive 8020. While Supermassive continues to carve out a distinct space in narrative-driven gaming with a dedicated community of fans, the repeated downsizing highlights the ongoing instability facing mid-sized development studios in the current industry climate.
Former internal staff have taken to professional networks to advocate for the affected developers, emphasizing that the departing talent brings valuable experience to any future team. As the studio moves forward, the player community remains supportive of the creators who built these cinematic experiences while hoping the industry at large can find a more sustainable path forward.
