Scopely has cancelled an unannounced project and is reorganising its internal teams.
According to Game Developer, the Monopoly Go! maker is yet to lay off any staff and plans to move affected developers to other teams within the studio.
“We have a robust in-development slate which includes incubation and prototype projects and we regularly assess where to focus the efforts of our talented [staff],” said Scopely in a statement.
A transition period
The publisher has “every intention” of retaining all employees from the cancelled project as long as there is a “role and/or game experience that’s a mutual fit.” If a suitable position isn’t available, the studio will “support individuals as they find new opportunities.”
“We’re extremely grateful for the contributions our team has made to the project they’ve passionately worked on and appreciate their efforts during this transition period,” Scopely concluded.
Some developers within the company have voiced concerns about their roles and future including senior creative director Steve Garvin who posted that his “cool new game got cancelled,” and was now seeking new opportunities.
