Are you ready to dive into the whirlwind world of gaming news? This week has been packed with updates that every gaming enthusiast needs to know—from layoffs in major gaming companies to exciting gameplay reveals and impressive sales milestones. Let’s break down what’s been happening in the gaming industry!
The Big Shake-Up at Sumo Group
Sumo Group, a prominent name in the gaming industry, has recently announced a surprising decision to cut 15% of its workforce. This reduction translates to over 200 employees across various locations including the UK, Canada, India, the Czech Republic, and Poland. This move comes shortly after the company showcased new projects at this year’s Summer Game Fest. In 2021, Tencent acquired Sumo Group in a whopping $1.3 billion deal, aiming to boost its gaming portfolio. This year’s layoffs in the gaming sector seem to have surpassed last year’s total of around 10,000.

This glimpse, which features early moments from the game, showcases the mechanics of combat and a significant storyline development involving the fragmentation of the Veil due to Solas’s ritual. Interestingly, Corinne Busche, the game’s director, pointed out that The Veilguard will not feature an open world.

Capcom enthusiasts have more to look forward to as the company also previewed a 20-minute gameplay session of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, set to release on July 19.
