- LinkedIn posts from former staff show losses across writing, VFX, environment and technical art, level design, and software engineering.
- Some departing workers described the move as “economic restructuring,” and the studio has not issued a full public statement.
- The cuts raise fresh uncertainty for planned MechWarrior content, with the status of a May DLC for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries not yet clear.
