According to Polygon EAs swedish studio Ghost Games was hit by layoffs earlier this week. Contractors were already let go and full-time staffers could either take compensation and leave or continue working on Visceral's rumored police-themed Battlefield title, code-named Havana.
While the studio made with Need for Speed Rivals it's first NFS title last year, the future doesn't look bright. In contradiction to earlier plans, that Ghost Games is in charge of future NFS titles, the new - yet unannounced - new Need for Speed seems to be set on hold.
Criterion Games, which developed two NFS games earlier, are already working on a completely new project after their staff was heavily reduced (and shifted to Ghost Games).
The official statement EA only mentioned that the company has "entered a consultation period for some positions in our Ghost Games U.K. studio."
So it'll be interesting what the future holds for the development studio and especially for the Need for Speed series.
