Last month it was announced Warner Bros. Games and Paramount Games Studio would be merged into a single company called Skydance Games following the $110 billion merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount.
Variety is now reporting Skydance Games has been hit with layoffs.
"As part of our ongoing efforts to position Skydance Games for long-term growth and success, we are implementing reorganization and operational shifts across a few areas of our business," said a Skydance spokesperson.
"We have stepped back and taken some time to consider where we are investing our efforts and have made the difficult decision to scale down some of our projects. As a result, there are roles impacted. This is not a reflection of the talent, dedication, or creativity of those affected and we are grateful for their contributions. We are committed to approaching the process with transparency, care and respect for those who are leaving the company."
Insider Gaming is reporting that at least 30 people have been laid off.
Studios under the Skydance Games brand includes Hogwarts Legacy developer Avalanche Software, Mortal Kombat dev NetherRealm Studios, Batman Arkham dev Rocksteady Studios, Lego studio TT Games, Skydance Interactive, and Skydance New Media.
