Avalanche Studios is conducting massive layoffs

Avalanche Studios is preparing for massive layoffs: the cancellation of the Contraband co-op action for Microsoft has hit the company hard.

The company is completely closing its Liverpool office and significantly reducing staff in other locations. Last year, Avalanche already closed its New York and Montreal offices; after this restructuring, the studio will only have branches in its native Sweden.

Avalanche is best known for the Just Cause series and the Mad Max action.
