Ninja Theory begins redundancy process after two rescue deals fall through

Hellblade developer Ninja Theory has started letting employees go after two deals to save the studio fell through, with multiple former staff posting on LinkedIn about redundancy risk or seeking new roles. Xbox announced last month that the two deals had failed and the studio would enter the UK consultation process ahead of mass layoffs and a presumed shutdown. Xbox's restructuring is expected to cut about 3,200 jobs over a year, with Double Fine, Undead Labs, Compulsion Games and Arkane Lyon also separating from Xbox.
