The future of MechWarrior looks uncertain amid Piranha Games layoffs and Toadman Interactive closure
MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries support studio Toadman Interactive have been shuttered by parent company Enad Global 7 as part of "cost-saving measures".
This follows the studio closing down offices in Stockholm, Visby, and Oslo last November, as well as a number of redundancies at their Berlin studio.
Toadman - who also developed soulslike Immortal: Unchained and provided support work for Helldivers 2 - employed 69 people at the time of closure.
This coincides with Enad Global 7 laying off "approximately" 38 people at Piranha Games, whose latest series entry MechWarrior 5: Clans "performed below expectations".
Enad Global 7's CEO Ji Ham said the following: “The team at Piranha truly delivered a high-quality game that exceeded both internal as well as external expectations in terms of quality, story and gameplay.
