"Activision Blizzard is committed to making the best games possible and has elected at this time to reduce the number of titles that Radical is developing from four games to two," Leah Rubin, Radical's vice-president of human resources, told The Vancouver Sun. "Therefore, we will be proportionately reducing the size of our studio."
Radical's Crash Bandicoot and Prototype (pictured) projects will survive the chop, while the Scarface franchise will be among those canceled.
Laid-off employees will be offered “a number of tools and resources to help them find new employment”, Radical said.
