Activision has confirmed that it has let go around 40 employees that were involved with the development of the Deadpool game. It is not believed that these layoffs will affect future releases of High Moon’s Transformers games.

“Activision Publishing consistently works to align its costs with its revenues — this is an ongoing process. With the completion of development on Deadpool, we are taking a reduction in staff at High Moon Studios to better align our development talent against our slate. Approximately, 40 full-time employees will be impacted globally. We are offering those employees who are impacted outplacement counseling services.”
