Midway Lays Off “Small Number” of Chicago Studio Developers

November 13th, 2008

midway_logo Financially-troubled publisher Midway has let go of a “small number” of employees from its Chicago studio following the completion of its two titles: Blitz: The League II and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

"As large projects are completed, it is expected for any multi-team studio to evaluate the appropriate staffing levels and team composition needed going forward," said a Midway representative.

While exact numbers weren’t given, the representative revealed that the layoffs affected “well below 10 percent of the studio’s population.” He noted that many of these employees were moved to other studios within Midway.
