"Within the UK, a consultation process is triggered when at least 20 redundancies are proposed to be made within a 90 day period. The process follows on from the company announcing in September that it has been bought by an unknown private equity firm. Due to UK laws, Splash Damage must notify and consult with employee representatives or trade unions, with required notice periods of at least 30 days if there are 20 to 99 redundancies or 45 days if 100 or more are expected."
"Splash Damage has entered a "Studio-Wide consultation process" that will most likely result in numerous people losing their jobs. Splash Damage themselves confirmed the news on LinkedIn: "Today we announced to our teams that we are entering a studio-wide consultation process affecting all roles. This was a difficult step for us to take, but we believe it is necessary so Splash Damage can remain agile and adaptable in what has been a very challenging market.""
"Splash Damage hasn't released a major game in five years, if you don't count a mobile title in 2021. The last big releases were the excellent Gears Tactics in 2020, and Outcasters - exclusive to the doomed Google Stadia - in the same year. Splash Damage was founded back in 2001, and would go on to work on several games with other developers, as well as producing many of its own, such as the awesome Enemy territory: Quake Wars in 2007."
Splash Damage has entered a studio-wide consultation process likely to result in numerous redundancies. UK regulations trigger collective consultation when 20 or more redundancies are proposed within 90 days, requiring at least 30 days' notice for 20–99 redundancies and 45 days for 100 or more. The move follows a September acquisition by an unnamed private equity firm. Splash Damage confirmed the consultation on LinkedIn, calling the step difficult but necessary to remain agile amid a challenging market. The studio has not released a major game in five years; notable past work includes Gears Tactics, Outcasters, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and contributions to DOOM and Batman.
