A new day = new layoffs in the industry, unfortunately. This time, people who worked for the company that gave us such games as Mad Max and Just Cause lost their jobs.

Here's What We Know

Avalanche Studios Group has announced restructuring plans that include the dismissal of 50 employees. The total number of jobs will be reduced by 9%.

Avalanche will close its studios in New York and Montreal, leaving studios in Stockholm and Malmö (Sweden), as well as in Liverpool (UK).

The company said that this is an extremely difficult decision, but it is necessary to ensure a stable and sustainable future for Avalanche.

The company announced plans to open an office in Canada only in October 2023. At that time, it acquired Monster Closet, which was founded in 2021 by a team of veteran game developers.
