According to several reports from past employees, Deus Ex and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy developer Eidos Montreal has been affected by a new string of layoffs. One of these reports comes from former gameplay director Samuel Daher. “Hey there! Was working at Eidos, loved it and would have stayed, but times are difficult,” Daher wrote on LinkedIn. “I’m eager to find a new professional home to drive design on new productions.” The studio has yet to make an official statement on the layoffs and the full number of affected employees is currently unknown. The studio notably laid off 75 employees back in April.
Details on the developer’s upcoming game, Fable:
What does it mean to be a hero? In last year’s trailer, that question was answered by Dave, a gardener-turned-giant with a chip on his shoulder. This year, we get a much darker take from Humphry, played by the British comedy actor Matt King. Humphry was once Albion’s greatest Hero, but those glory days are long gone. In Fable, Humphry will be forced out of retirement when a mysterious figure from his past threatens the very existence of Albion.
Playground Games also confirmed its collaboration with Eidos Montreal, who will be supporting the ongoing development of Fable, which will be coming to players in 2025.

At the end of March 2025, Eidos Montréal lost another 75 employees after its work on Playground's Fable reboot […]
