IO Interactive Hit With Layoffs

IO Interactive general manager, Niels Jørgensen, has confirmed that there have been job losses within the company after some “internal changes”. 

“I can confirm that we have made some internal changes at IO Interactive which has regrettably resulted in the loss of some jobs.

This is a natural part of any studio’s existence when you ramp-up and ramp-down on projects to ensure you have the right level of resource and expertise within the studio. We genuinely wish those who have been affected by this, the best of luck for the future.”

Whilst he hasn’t confirmed the exact amount, there are rumours flying about that the number could be about thirty, and that it may have been caused by the cancellation of a game deal with Microsoft.

    Correct and just to avoid any speculations, which sadly other sites has done in an attempt to score cheap hits, it has nothing to do with Hitman 5.

    • Yeah I specifically didn’t want to go down the Hitman 5 route.

      • And that’s why I love TSA. You keep it classy… well almost :)

  2. oh boo hoo!!!
