After the flop of Suicide Squad, developer Rocksteady is now facing further consequences in the form of layoffs.
The wave of layoffs in the video game industry continues – and this time it’s the developer studio Rocksteady that’s hit. The studio recently made a big mistake with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and everything else was a bestseller. This is now leading to consequences.
According to new reports, more than half of the quality assurance department has been laid off as part of a restructuring. Eurogamer reports that the QA department has been cut from 33 to just 15 employees.
Our English-speaking colleagues also report that other people are affected, as well as just employees in the QA department. Some former employees have also spoken out via social media.
An official statement from Rocksteady is currently still pending.
Season 1 including the Joker is now available for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
