The company has not publicly announced how many people will be out of work, but Bloomberg news agency, citing its own sources, claims that 90 people will be laid off, and another 150 people could lose their jobs in the future, despite the fact that Supermassive Games has only 350 developers.

The fact that the company will be without a third of its staff could have a negative impact on the development of horror platformer Little Nightmares 3, which is due for release in 2024.
