Wargaming, the oldsters behind free-to-play mega-hit World Of Tanks, have confirmed that they’re closing the Seattle studio previously often known as Gas Powered Games. Y’know, Gas Powered, the Supreme Commander and Dungeon Siege lot. 150 individuals had been working at Wargaming Seattle on an unannounced MMO, the corporate stated, however the studio is closing as Wargaming restructures.
Wargaming purchased Gas Powered in 2013, a time when the Redmond-based studio (I assume Seattle is extra glamorous for a reputation) seemed to be on the verge of closing.
Gamasutra yesterday reported on rumours that the studio was to shut, listening to from a former worker, and Wargaming have since confirmed it.
“Wargaming will be closing their Redmond development studio as part of the company’s restructuring process,” they advised us in an announcement at this time. “Every member of the 150-strong team that has been working on an unannounced MMO project will be offered a severance package.”
They say they’ll assist individuals apply for different positions elsewhere in Wargaming, if they need, and add that “We would like to express our gratitude and thank everyone on the team for their hard work.”
Wargaming don’t say far more about their choice to shut the studio.
Wargaming have one other eighteen (!) workplaces scattered around the globe, thoughts, so that is removed from the tip of them.
