Staff Posts Point to New Layoffs at WB Games Montréal

Former employees say roles ended on March 13 without company confirmation.

Overview

  • Multiple developers across narrative, design, and production reported on LinkedIn that they left the studio on March 13.
  • At least three named staffers — Ceri Young, Camille Olivier Paquette, and Nicolas Pereira-Poisson — disclosed their departures, with one citing a layoff round.
  • The headcount affected has not been specified, and outlets say Warner Bros. Games has not responded to requests for comment.
  • The reports arrive during Paramount Skydance’s pending acquisition of Warner Bros., after Netflix’s Ted Sarandos linked any deal to significant cost-cutting.
  • WB Games Montréal previously cut 99 roles in 2024, and parent company results have highlighted weaker games revenue and a portfolio rebuild.
