According to Eurogamer, Rocksteady has been hit by another round of layoffs. As support for SSKTJL comes to an end with the final season, the studio has seen a number of employees let go across various departments. Eurogamer was the first to report on the layoffs after “half a dozen staff” who were part of the layoffs confirmed to the outlet that they took place. According to the report, employees in QA, programming, and art have been let go. An exact number impacted or when the layoffs actually happened is currently unknown. The latest layoffs mark the second in a handful of months as the QA team saw staff reduced by over 50% in September. They has reached out to WB Games and Rocksteady for comment on the layoffs. As of publishing, however, no response has been received. Whatever Rocksteady has cooking up for its next game, it better be something really good. If not, an end is almost inevitable for the studio.

The company was hit by layoffs? Poor company.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer Rocksteady has quietly suffered another round of layoffs, this time just before the end of 2024.

My heart goes out to the business entity itself.
 
It looks like the majority of those impacted are in the QA department. Which isn’t a surprise since the game is in end of life. They aren’t going to do much QA on this game now with only a handful of ppl playing. QA will likely ramp back up once their next game is in a place where that team can test it.

Hopefully other studios that have games nearing release can hire some of these ppl.
