3 months after the release of Directive 8020, Supermassive Games is laying off even more people

3 months after the release of Directive 8020, Supermassive Games is laying off even more people This will be the third round of layoffs in less than three years. Three months after the release of Directive 8020, Supermassive Games is laying off employees. The layoffs come in the wake of a mixed response to Directive 8020 (although PC Gamer's Elie Gould thoroughly enjoyed it, calling the game "one giant leap for sci-fi body horror" in their 85% review), but that reception feels almost irrelevant. Supermassive isn't Blizzard, but it is a division of Nordisk Film, which is owned by Egmont Group, which had an operating profit of €140 million ($162 million) on revenues of €2.2 billion ($2.5 billion) in 2025.
