Massive Entertainment is looking to reduce its number of employees.
The Star Wars: Outlaws studio – which is a subsidary of Ubisoft – announced it would be going through a “voluntary career transition program” that would see some staffers exit the developer to “strengthen [its] roadmap” and support of future games in The Division franchise.
In a post on social media, Massive wrote: “As part of our ongoing evolution and long-term planning, we have recently realigned our teams and resources to strengthen our roadmap, ensuring our continued focus on The Division franchise and the technologies, including Snowdrop and Ubisoft Connect, that power our games.
“To support this transition responsibly, we introduced a voluntary career transition program, giving eligible team members the opportunity to take their next career step on their own terms, supported by a comprehensive package that includes financial and career assistance.”
The studio added it “remains fully committed to our roadmap and to creating great experiences for players around the world, including The Division 2, The Division 2: Survivors, The Division Resurgence, and The Division 3”.
Massive concluded: “These projects continue with strength, focus, and ambition, and we look forward to sharing more in the future.”
French newspaper Le Figaro has since claimed the “departure plan” will run until December 15, and will be targetting employees that are between projects.
