A week after being sold by Sega and becoming an independent studio, Relic Entertainment has announced a round of layoffs.
While the company hasn’t publicly put a number on the amount of affected employees, Relic external development producer Robyn Smale said the studio had “lost a number of amazing people – 41”.
Vancouver, Canada-based Relic specialises in real-time strategy games including the Company of Heroes, Age of Empires and Homeworld series.
