Yesterday it was revealed that Sega has decided to cancel Hyenas and stop development of the looter shooter from Creative Assembly. After the game has been in production for years, we’ve been waiting to hear how this shock decision will affect the team at Creative Assembly, and now we know.
The British developer has to lay off and make people redundant as part of the decision to shut down Hyenas. It is not known how many employees will be made redundant, but we have learned that a period of discussions about redundancies has been initiated.
The announcement specifically states that the period “Unfortunately, this can lead to redundancies.” There is therefore a possibility that no developers will lose their jobs as a result of the closure of Hyenas, but it is probably unlikely.
Creative Assembly sier: “We have always aimed to operate as a ‘people-first’ studio; this is fundamental to our values and our culture. Although we have to go through this incredibly difficult process, we will prioritize supporting our employees at every stage.
“Those who lose their jobs, we will redeploy to other vacancies in CA where possible, so that we can ultimately minimize the loss of jobs.”
