Hangar 13 Hit With Layoffs

Mafia 3 developer Hangar 13 was unfortunately hit with layoffs, with a significant number of staff members gone from the studio.

Publisher 2K confirmed the layoffs in the following statement when asked by Kotaku:

“2K can confirm that there have been staff reductions at Hangar 13 in order to ensure that the studio’s resources are properly aligned with its long-term development plans. These reductions will not influence 2K’s ability to create and deliver its products that are currently in development. We never take these matters lightly, and are working with the affected employees to support them and explore potential opportunities throughout our organization.”

Other studios have been quick to post job listings for those let go such as Remedy Entertainment to help their fellow industry workers.

Mafia 3 launches back in October 2016 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC and moved over 5 million copies by early 2017.
