Ninja Theory has started reducing its workforce, as reported via LinkedIn messages discovered by Game Developer news editor Chris Kerr.
Xbox previously announced on September 22 a proposed studio closure and consultation process after two independent sales agreements collapsed, though exploration of alternative routes continued.
IGN noted that impacted personnel include gameplay programmer Katrin Mair, performance capture specialist Xoe Suvari, and technical director Loong-Wei Ding, alongside technical sound designer Alessio Mellina facing potential redundancy.
The precise scale of the job cuts remains unverified, while the affected staff were previously developing a third Hellblade title centered on Senua.
