Relic Entertainment recently announced that it was splitting from parent company Sega and going back to being an independent studio, but with that shake-up has come unfortunate upheaval, with the developer joining the ever-growing list of companies in the games industry that have been hit with layoffs.
Over on LinkedIn, Relic Entertainment has announced that it is laying off a number of its employees following its split from Sega.
“Following last week’s announcement of Relic becoming an independent studio, today we have some difficult news,” the studio wrote.
Other than the Company of Heroes series, Relic has also developed Age of Empires 4, Homeworld 1 and 2, the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, and more.
