Airtight Games, developer of Murdered: Soul Suspect and Quantum Conundrum, suffered layoffs this week. The studio let go of 14 employees, confirmed by IGN as part of a “necessary restructuring” for the developer.
Airtight’s restructuring was deemed “part of the normal ebb and flow of game production” and that the studio’s current projects are still on schedule. The developer announced a June 3 release date for Murdered: Soul Suspect roughly one month ago. Square Enix said the “core team is continuing to work towards shipping in June.”
One previous employee of Airtight Games, the studio’s creative director and Portal Co-Creator Kim Swift, joined Amazon Game Studios yesterday along with Far Cry 2 Lead Designer Clint Hocking.
