Another day, another announcement of job cuts in the games industry. The latest restructuring is taking place at Eidos Montreal, which says 124 people are being laid off. As with many similar cuts, the studio’s LinkedIn post attributed the reduction in size to “the result of the changing needs of the project and the impact on production and support teams.” The company is also parting ways with its studio chief David Anfossi.
Eidos Montreal has worked on titles in the Deus Ex and Tomb Raider franchises, as well as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel’s Avengers games. It is one of several companies owned by Embracer Group, which snapped up a bunch of studios but is stuck in downsizing during 2023 and 2024 following an expensive restructuring of its own gaming empire. That activity reportedly included the removal of a planned new Deus Ex game that Eidos Montreal was working on.
Eidos Montreal’s post did not specify which projects he is currently active on, although he did say he is involved in upcoming projects. grounded 2 From Obsidian Entertainment and Reimagined fable From playground games.
