Skydance Games is cutting jobs, with multiple outlets reporting layoffs affecting teams across the company’s newly merged games division. GamesIndustry.biz says Skydance has implemented an undisclosed number of cuts to its games unit. Deadline and IGN All report that staff reductions follow the recent Warner Bros–Paramount merger, which leads into further reorganization and operational shifts.

Several reports connect the layoffs to project scaling and restructuring. PC Gamer and Times of India both state the company says it is scaling down some projects, while Variety adds that the merged games division combines Skydance-owned development with Warner Bros. Games studios. Times of India also links the timing to executives seeking merger-related cost savings, and Escapist names several studios and franchises under the division, including those behind Mortal Kombat and Hogwarts Legacy.

Across outlets, the common thread is that layoffs occur about a month after the merger, with the company framing the move as part of long-term positioning rather than a standalone operational dispute.
