Raven Layoffs

Layoffs have come down at Raven Software, the Activision-owned developer of Singularity and Wolfenstein, reports Kotaku, attributing the report to "sources familiar with the Raven Software." They say about 40 jobs were lost, and follow this up with a confirmation from Activision, who tell them "With the recent completion of Singularity, Raven Software is realigning its workforce to better reflect the studio's upcoming slate," though the publisher declined to say how many positions were cut. Kotaku reports their sources tell them the studio has been cut to a single development team to create downloadable content, saying they had two teams until now, down from three as recently as last year. Thanks joao.

Raven has always made solid games. Nothing outstanding but generally entertaining.

Take No Prisoners!


Working on DLC only? That's quite the fall from 2004, when those X-Men games had Raven flying insanely high. For the record I thought those games were insanely dull, marginally more fun than the button-mashing X-Men arcade game (if you have fond memories try it now...)

I always confused Raven and Ritual, unfairly. If this story is true then Ritual may actually be the longer-lasting company, even if it's now, I dunno, a zombie company?
Actually I'm wrong, seems the Ritual name is dead, too. I thought MumboJumbo kept it. Such a weird purchase.
