Supermassive Games, the renowned developer behind the beloved survival horror game Until Dawn, has recently announced that it will be undergoing a period of consultation and reorganisation. This decision comes as a response to the challenges faced by the gaming industry, which has been affected by stay-at-home lockdown measures.

Until Dawn, which is currently being remastered for PC, remains one of Supermassive's most iconic titles, and its success has made it a staple in the gaming world. However, despite their best efforts, the studio has struggled to replicate the same level of acclaim with subsequent projects like The Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry.

As part of the reorganisation process, Supermassive Games will be entering into a period of consultation, which is expected to result in the loss of some colleagues. This decision was not taken lightly, and the studio has stated that they have made every effort to avoid this outcome.

'We are all too aware of how unsettling and difficult this process is going to be for all our employees and will be working closely with all those involved to ensure the process is conducted as respectfully and compassionately as possible,' said Supermassive Games in a statement.

The reorganisation process follows a report from Bloomberg, which stated that studio leadership told 150 people their jobs were at risk earlier today. According to sources, around 90 staff are expected to eventually leave the business following the consultation.

Supermassive Games has confirmed that they will be focusing on their core strengths and upcoming titles to ensure the continued sustainability of the company. This news may come as a shock to fans of Until Dawn and other Supermassive titles, but it is clear that the studio is committed to adapting to the changing landscape of the gaming industry.

As the PC version of Until Dawn approaches its release date, fans can rest assured that Supermassive Games will continue to produce high-quality games that deliver on their promise of thrilling storytelling and immersive gameplay. However, this news serves as a reminder that even beloved game developers are not immune to the challenges faced by the gaming industry.
