Eidos Montreal slashes 124 jobs in latest wave of layoffs

Eidos Montreal has imposed another round of layoffs, announcing today that 124 employees have been put out of work. Longtime studio head David Anfossi has also left, although it's unclear at this point whether he resigned or was also laid off. "The reduction in workforce affecting 124 employees is a result of changing project needs and impacts across production and support teams," the studio wrote on LinkedIn. "Today is a difficult day for our studio and reflects the need to adapt and concentrate efforts where Eidos-Montréal can be most effective." Eidos Montreal previously laid off employees in December 2025, and reportedly cancelled an undisclosed number of projects in the studio, shifting its focus to co-development of Grounded 2, led by Obsidian, and Playground Games' Fable reboot. The studio had previously laid off roughly 75 people in March 2025, and another 97 employees in January 2024, when it also reportedly cancelled a new Deus Ex game.
