Video game developer Supermassive Games has announced a reorganization due to “significant challenges” in the gaming industry. The company regretted the situation and acknowledged that some employees may be affected. Supermassive is known for The Quarry and another narrative horror. The announcement was made through a statement on their official Twitter account.

The tweet stated that reorganization was carefully considered and followed by efforts to prevent layoffs. While the statement doesn’t detail what went into the decision, it was definitive about what would happen. It also doesn’t provide specific information about potential layoffs or the departments affected by the reorganization.

Supermassive Games plans to concentrate on its main strengths and upcoming games to secure the company’s future. However, they haven’t provided specific details about the titles or strategies involved in this renewed focus.

This is another situation where the publisher is laying off employees they probably hired, thinking things would be better. We’ve seen it a lot over these last few years; honestly, it’s hard to keep seeing.
