Halo and Call of Duty co-developer Certain Affinity has been hit with a wave of layoffs, CEO Max Hoberman announced.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The studio head wrote about the decision in a lengthy post on the developer\u2019s website<\/a>, saying that the layoffs affect 25 US-based staff members and \u201chas the most impact on the teams running our business operations.\u201d The Certain Affinity website says the company currently has more than 250 full-time employees, meaning today\u2019s move affects somewhere around 10% of its staff.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

The decision marks the first time Certain Affinity has laid off team members since it was established in 2006.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are multiple factors underlying this decision to do a layoff for the first time in our 17+ year history,\u201d Hoberman wrote. \u201cMost significant is an industry-wide slow down in the funding of new lead and co-development projects and the reluctance of third party investors to fund games or game companies. This has made it exceptionally difficult to sign new work or secure other forms of funding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoberman says Certain Affinity is supporting those affected with severance pay and benefits continuation. The company is also making their vested awards under its Stock Equity Plan portable \u201cso they may benefit from the company\u2019s success in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have built an amazing culture where we all come together to support one another in times of need,\u201d he added. \u201cWe ask for your understanding and patience while we navigate this unprecedented event. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most significant is an industry-wide slow down in the funding of new lead and co-development projects and the reluctance of third party investors to fund games or game companies<\/section>\n

Certain Affinity has helped shape a number of notable titles through the last 17 years. This includes helping with the development for the Halo and Call of Duty franchises as well as other projects like Prey (2017), Gotham Knights, Doom (2016), Left 4 Dead, Hogwarts Legacy, and more. For example, the team\u2019s work on the base version of Call of Duty: Black Ops saw them creating five multiplayer maps along with various multiplayer features. Certain Affinity also helped with Halo 4 and is responsible creating features and content for its Forge mode alongside various multiplayer game modes.<\/p>\n

Certain Affinity is only the latest developer to be affected by the layoffs plaguing the industry. Other developers recently affected include Supermassive Games<\/u><\/a> (Until Dawn) and Cloud Imperium Games<\/u><\/a> (Star Citizen). Sega\u2019s Creative Assembly (Total War) and Hardlight (Sonic Dream Team) studios were both subjected to layoffs<\/u><\/a> in the last day, too, with company\u2019s like Nintendo also announcing<\/u><\/a> that they are undergoing restructuring in some departments.<\/p>\n

For more on the job losses sweeping the industry, be sure to take a look took at the human impact of the last year of layoffs<\/u><\/a>. You should also read up on what some developers think of the layoffs<\/u><\/a> and why we\u2019re seeing them happen now.<\/p>\n
