Embracer Group's Cuts Lead to Cancellation of New Deus Ex Game
Embracer Group has laid off 97 staff members and canceled the next Deus Ex game after two years of development, redirecting focus to an "original franchise". This move is part of an initiative to cut costs, with employees across development teams, administration, and support services affected. The company has also made cuts to Crystal Dynamics and Free Radical in the past, while Microsoft and Riot Games have also announced significant layoffs recently.
