In a surprising move, WB Games has closed three of its internal studios, including the well-known Monolith and Player First. This decision impacts the game development community significantly, as these studios were responsible for creating popular titles and employing hundreds of developers. The closure of these studios not only affects the current workforce but also signals potential shifts in the gaming industry’s landscape. According to industry reports, this move could lead to a 15% reduction in game development jobs in the region where these studios were based. This statistic underscores the broader implications for the sector, highlighting the vulnerability of even established studios to corporate restructuring.
