WB Games Seattle "has made staff reductions," group remains "integral"

Warner Bros. confirms that layoffs have occurred at WB Games Seattle due to ”shifting business imperatives.” They’re currently working on Lord of the Rings: Guardians of Middle-earth.

It’s unknown if this reduction has hit any other projects in the works. Last November the Seattle studio saw a reduction. The developer ”will continue to remain” important to WB.

WB Games Seattle is the name given to Washington state-based Monolith Productions, Snowblind Studios, and Surreal Software. The group lost ”60ish” people last November.

”Due to shifting business imperatives, WB Games Seattle has made staff reductions. The group will continue to remain an integral part of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment,” confirmed Warner Brothers.
