Level-5?s North American offices, Level-5 International America and Level-5 Abby, are reportedly in the process of shuttering. A number of sources allege that operations slowly began grinding to halt last year. As of August 2019, Level-5 Abby let go of approximately 10 staffers; the International America office supposedly reduced its staff by the same number. Presently, there?s no word on how many employees remain at each studio, though sources say both are running on a ?skeleton crew.?
According to GamesIndustry.biz, staff members never received an explanation for the lay-offs. However, sources familiar with the situation at Level-5 Abby claim those workers were ?given every indication? that the office would be shuttered. Following the layoffs, a couple of employees remained on board for a short period of time to help with ?essential functions? as operations wound down.
