Summary
Up to 75 Supermassive employees face redundancy after the UK game studio opened a consultation process it said is needed to ensure the company's sustainability.
The cuts mark Supermassive's third round of layoffs in two years, following up to 36 job losses announced in July 2025 and a 2024 reorganisation that Bloomberg reported put 150 jobs at risk.
Supermassive is best known for Until Dawn, The Quarry and the Dark Pictures Anthology, and most recently released Directive 8020 in May after taking over Little Nightmares 3 last October.
Those latest titles drew mixed reviews, adding pressure as game studios across the industry keep trimming staff and restructuring.
