Relic Leisure relies in Canada and has been behind such hits as Warhammer 40,000: Daybreak of Battle and Homeworld. Their space of experience is technique video games, with their most up-to-date title being Firm of Heroes 3. Whereas Firm of Heroes 3 did properly critically, consumer reception is a lot worse, with the addition of microtransactions usually cited for the detrimental response. Nonetheless, if lacking targets was the explanation for the job cuts, Sega hasn’t disclosed something.
“Relic and SEGA stay absolutely dedicated to supporting and investing in our titles, together with the just lately launched Firm of Heroes 3. We’re assured that following this crucial restructuring, Relic can be able of power to proceed delivering excellent experiences to gamers all around the world,” the press launch says.

It goes onto say that “Proper now our focus is on supporting departing staff in each approach we are able to.” Once more, nothing extra particular is talked about.

Layoffs at all times suck, particularly ones of this magnitude. It’s one thing we, sadly, see plenty of on this trade. Hopefully, these affected can shortly discover a new dwelling and proceed doing what they love. I additionally hope Relic’s “restructuring” goes properly, and we are able to proceed to see extra from the studio.
