Epic Games has denied rumors about the reduction of the entire Mediatonic staff
After Epic Games announced large-scale layoffs, rumors about the dismissal of all employees of the Mediatonic studio appeared on the network. However, Epic Games called this information false.
In a media comment, a company representative referred to a letter from the head of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, in which it is reported that the company intends to continue investing in the development of Fall Guys. However, he did not say how many people remained at Mediatonic.
Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier also wrote on Twitter that Mediatonic is not closing. He added that the Fall Guys team had actually "suffered a lot" and had employed about 300 people before the layoffs.
Recall that on September 28, it became known that Epic Games was laying off 16% of its employees, or about 830 people. In addition, the company is getting rid of two assets. She transfers the Bandcamp music store to the Songtradr site and makes the SuperAwesome advertising provider independent.
