Romero Games announced last week that they’d lost funding for their upcoming FPS in the wake of Microsoft’s latest mass layoff spree. According to one employee who spoke to Irish outlet The Journal (the studio is based in Galway), Romero Games have now closed, via PC Gamer.
The closure has affected 100 workers, writer The Journal, with one anonymous staff member calling it „a big shock“ – especially since they’d had meetings with „the publisher“ the day before. While the publisher aren’t named directly, former staff have mentioned Microsoft cuts in their announcements.
