Supermassive Games to cut up to 75 roles in third round of layoffs since 2024

Supermassive Games has started a redundancy process that will remove up to 75 jobs. The cuts come three months after the studio released Directive 8020 and are the company’s third round of layoffs in under three years. The move reduces staff at a studio owned by Nordisk Film while parent company Egmont Group posted €2.2 billion revenue and €140 million operating profit in 2025, underscoring wider industry instability.

• Up to 75 Supermassive employees will be made redundant as part of the announced process.
• This is Supermassive’s third round of layoffs since 2024, with previous cuts in 2024 and 2025.
• Directive 8020 launched three months before the layoffs and received mixed reactions, including an 85% review score from at least one critic.
• Supermassive is a division of Nordisk Film, which is owned by Egmont Group; Egmont reported €2.2 billion in revenue and a €140 million operating profit in 2025.
