Activision moves to sell off some Sierra studios, “realign staffing” at others
Activision’s confirmed it’s looking to “realign staffing” at Radical Entertainment and High Moon Studios, and is considering selling Massive Entertainment and Swordfish Studios.
For the record, Radical’s working on Prototype at the moment; High Moon’s just finished up work on Bourne; Massive’s working on the console versions of World in Conflict, now assumed canned; and it’s not clear what UK outfit Swordfish Studios was on right now.
The news comes alongside confirmation that of Sierra’s product slate, only Crash Bandicoot, Ice Age, Spyro, Prototype and an as-yet unannounced property will make the transition to the newly-formed Activision Blizzard.
Activision also said this morning that it’s considering selling Vivendi Games Mobile and Sierra Online.
“We are focused on improving efficiency across the combined organization and are concentrating on businesses where we have leadership positions that are aligned with Activision Publishing’s long-term corporate objectives,” said Activision CEO Mike Griffith.
