March 22, 2016 by Ian Miles Cheong

The maker of the Scribblenauts games has experienced layoffs.

5th Cell, the studio behind the fantastic Scribblenauts games hasn’t found much success outside of that series.

The studio has just announced that it has let go 45 of its developers today, and that their next title, Scribblenauts: Fighting Words has been cancelled.

The studio remains alive, but is clearly in a lot of trouble. They released a full statement disclosing the layoffs and intend to help their former employees find work elsewhere in the industry.

You can read it below.

Unfortunately, due to a project cancellation, we have had to let go of 45 of our very talented staff members today.

Layoffs aren’t something we take lightly and we’d like to thank all our employees for all the hard work and dedication over the years.

5TH Cell as a company is not closing down, but our focus right now is 100% on helping our staff make the transition to other external opportunities. If we haven’t already reached out, any interested employer can reach us at jobs@5thcell.com.
