Sega will shed 240 staff across its European studios, and sell off Company of Heroes developer Relic Entertainment as part of a cost-cutting drive.
The majority of job losses will be at Total War developer Creative Assembly and at the publisher’s Sega Europe office. These follow earlier cuts to the UK-based Creative Assembly last year, after the cancellation of live-service shooter Hyenas.
The Vancouver-based Relic will become an independent studio, meanwhile, backed by an unnamed “external investor”. In a statement posted to social media this morning, Relic confirmed Company of Heroes 3 support would continue. The developer has also recently faced layoffs, with 121 staff let go in May 2023.
