Radical Entertainment will be laying off about 100 employees, almost half of its staff, the company confirmed Wednesday.
"Activision Blizzard has elected at this time to reduce the number of titles that Radical is developing from four games to two," Leah Rubin, Radical's vice-president of human resources, said in an email. "Therefore, we will be proportionately reducing the size of our studio."
The reductions come in the wake of an ownership change last month that create Activision Blizzard.
