In a statement shared with Eurogamer, Embracer said: “Saber Interactive has confirmed that there have been restructuring changes involving the New World Interactive subsidiary”. It continued: “This reorganisation has resulted in layoffs at the studio.”

Koliko zaposlenih bo odpuščenih in kateri oddelki bodo prizadeti, ostaja nepotrjeno. Eurogamer je kontaktiral Sabre neposredno za dodatna pojasnila o statusu New World Interactive.

Embracer said Saber is “actively working to fill existing open roles” within the company with those impacted by the layoffs. Affected employees are also to receive severance packages, it added.

“Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm,” Embracer said, “as well as on unannounced future projects”.

This is the latest in a set of layoffs at Embracer-owned studios following its decision to “restructure” in June. In Embracer’s financial report for Q2 2023/24, CEO Lars Wingefors confirmed Odpustili so 900 zaposlenih med julijem in septembrom. To je vključevalo odpuščanja pri Razvijalec Tomb Raider Crystal Dynamics in Mythforce razvijalec Beamdog.

Novo poročilo iz začetka tega meseca navaja, da je razvijalec Timesplitters Free Radical na nevarnost zaprtja po oceni Embracerja. Prejšnji teden, okoli 50 zaposlenih v podjetju Fishlabs (owned by Plaion, which is in turn owned by Embracer) were laid off due to “restructuring”.

Odpuščanja se nadaljujejo tudi v celotni industriji, kot prej danes EA je potrdil odpuščanja pri razvijalcu F1 Codemasters.
