A Nottingham game studio could be set to close before Christmas, as part of cuts company-wide at Embracer and its owned publishers.
The shuttering of Free Radical Design, which is behind the TimeSplitters game, has been acknowledged privately by publisher Plaion, according to reports in VGC.
Sources have shared with VGC that a company email slates the Nottingham business may be closed on 11 December, following the completion of a consultation process.
Free Radical Design was founded in 1999. After going bankrupt, in 2009 the company was acquired by Crytek. In 2014 the studio closed with most staff moving to Dambuster Studios. In 2021, the original founders revived Free Radical Design.
