Media Molecule About To Layoff Upto 20% Of Its Workforce – Rumor
Media Molecule, the developer behind Sackboy, is apparently planning to lay off dozens of staff members and reduce its headcount by around 15 to 20%. As reported by GLHF, Media Molecule will be laying off roughly 20 employees to make its headcount from 135 to 115 which has already been discussed internally through meetings.
We don’t really know which departments will be seeing the most reduction, and what is the actual purpose behind these layoffs. Of course, it’s also important to mention that this is all rumours at this point and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Media Molecule is best known for its work on Dreams, which gives players a wealth of tools to create their own games. However, the services for the game stopped last month – which definitely hints that the game wasn’t a financial success. As of now, the team is working on a new project that isn’t related to Dreams – read more on that through here.
