Hi- Rez Studios, the developer behind Smite 2 and Paladins, has announced it's laying off an undisclosed number of employees in order to "ensure [the company's] long-term success". Hi-Rez CEO Stewart Chisam announced the job cuts in a lengthy statement shared on social media, saying the layoffs - instigated as part of an "internal reorganisation and reprioritisation" - will "disproportionately impact those in marketing and publishing roles". In the near-term, Hi-Rez will "almost exclusively" prioritise gameplay development for Smite 2 - including new modes, gods, and quality improvements - over the cosmetic and monetisation features it had previously planned to release in the run-up to the MOBA's free-to-play launch next year.
