Developers which work out of the Seattle arm of Warner include Monolith, Snowblind Studios, and Surreal Software. The redundancies first came to light via a tweet from 3D Realms founder George Broussard. The only title known to be in the works on the Seattle-end is Lord of the Rings: Guardians of Middle-earth. A round of layoffs also hit the studio back in November.
