Layoffs Hit Warner Bros. Seattle
Warner Bros. Seattle game studios suffered layoffs today, the company confirmed. "Due to shifting business imperatives, WB Games Seattle has made staff reductions," a spokesperson told Game Informer. "The group will continue to remain an integral part of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment."
It's unclear at this time what studios have been affected. Unconfirmed reports say F.E.A.R. developer Monolith Productions was hit, with entire core team and general manager being let go. The company also reportedly consolidated three of its studio offices into one.
WB Seattle was hit with layoffs last November as well.
