I said at the time that it probably wasn't a good development, and I wish I'd been wrong but I was right: The studio said today that it is "entering a studio-wide consultation process affecting all roles." The "consultation process" is a requirement of UK law (Splash Damage is a UK-based studio) that takes place prior to layoffs: It grants employees the right to know why they're being laid off, and to explore other possible alternatives. The studio established a reputation as multiplayer specialists in the early 2000s with the Enemy Territory games and the multiplayer components of Return to Castle Wolfenstein (which was excellent) and Doom 3, and while it didn't have much luck with solo efforts Brink and Dirty Bomb, the team went back to its multiplayer roots for contributions on Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Gears of War 4, Gears 5, Gears Tactics, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
