, by Thibaut
ZeniMax Online Studios has been hit hard by Microsoft's latest redundancies. The studio's next MMO has been cancelled and those who were working on the project will be leaving the company.
On Bluesky, ZeniMax Online's union recalled that Microsoft's announcement "shocked over 200 developers working on the project". The organization added that, despite discussions concerning the employees' professional situation, none of them had yet been made redundant. Negotiations are underway with Microsoft.
As a result, it is stipulated that "the developers behind this unannounced project remain employees of ZeniMax Online Studios, with full salary and benefits."
