The company produces more than 9,000 employees, and the game unit also affected.
Bloomberg, led by journalist Jason Shreye, has already indicated the upcoming permission MicrosoftThis field happened today, but we learned very little. In the public, an email was written in which the head of the Game Microsoft division writes:
“To prepare (Microsoft) games for ongoing success and focus on strategic growth areas, we will stop/reduce the volume of work in certain areas of business and follow Microsoft Management when removing control levels to increase vivacity and efficiency.”
After a relatively vague expression, which involves more abbreviations in higher positions, but followed the much worse news. When we remain in the release as such, according to Variety Magazine magazine The whole company strangled about 9,000 jobsSome of them are only in the game unit. However, as a percentage of the total number of release, this is not so.
Cell The situation in any case is very chaotic And instead of the central report, employees themselves study gradually. According to Srier, some employees at Zenimax Online Studios were deactivated by Slack Accounts, although they have not yet received any information about the release.
And it is not only about employees, the reduction also applies to upcoming games. In accordance with Jason Srier’s sources The abolition of Everwild, rare games whose problematic developments have been delaying for more than ten years And it was first represented in 2019. Since then, he has been silent around the project and passed at least one large reboot. In October last year, Phil Spencer himself visited the office rare, and Evervild played, but now the project is completely canceled.
And not the only one that follows information (again from Schreyer) about The abolition of the new MMORPG from Zenimax Online StudiosIt stands behind senior scrolls on the Internet. Code designation project BlackBird has been in development since 2018But unlike Everwild, we have never seen an official performance.
Meanwhile, there are talk about other reductions. According to Windows Central The Perfect Dark, which was created on the initiative (subsequently supported Crystal Dynamics) since 2018, was possible.The name was announced on Game Awards in 2020, and last year on the Xbox Games show we saw the first game pictures. Nevertheless, Schreyer has not yet commented on this game and is waiting for confirmation.
