Following
the news that free-to-play first-person shooter
Hyenas is cancelled, developer
Creative
Assembly Xs about the fallout, saying that this may result in job
losses:
We have made the incredibly difficult decision to begin a
redundancy consultation process in some areas of our CJK operations, alongside
ending development of HYENAS.
This may, unfortunately, result in job losses.
We fully understand that this has a significant impact on our people whether
they are directly affected or not - which we are truly sorry for.
We have always aimed to operate as a studio; that is foundational to our values
and culture. While we must go through this incredibly difficult process. 'I've
will prioritise supporting our at every step.
For those whose jobs are at risk we will work to re-allocate them into other
available roles within CA wherever possible. and ultimately minimise any job
losses.
Our commitment to our projects and players has not changed; we will deliver more
incredible experience to our players all the world for decades to come.
While this is a difficult moment across CA, we look forward to sharing more
about our plans in the future.
