@XG247: For a little more information take a look at our lovely little interview with Relic’s Producer on Space Marine, Raphael Van Lierop.
Otherwise feast your eyes on this glorious text:
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Relic Entertainment announced layoffs affecting 121 employees. The company recently released Company of Heroes 3. It is a subsidiary of Sega.

Damn ... Company of Heroes 1 is one of my favorite, if not my fav, RTS of all time ...
CoH3 has been received negatively and barely sold 500K on Steam. I reckon it wasn't enough for Sega to keep the lights on in the studio.
Guessing the PS5 version that's out on the 30th will also be a disaster. Shame...
"On the one hand, it makes sense that new series developer Relic has decided to loosely model Age of Empires 4 on the beloved second entry," writes Robert Zak. "On the other hand, reverence to the past can be restricting, and I can’t help but feel that Age of Empires 4 could have been something more."
Seriously can't wait for this game, it's going to kick ass!
Wait. Without the names or any details, Who is the interviewer and who is the interviewee? LOL. Both are asking questions.
The game looks great. OT.
Ultramarines rock! I only hope we get to shoot chaos forces aswell!
Lol at the way they handled the interview. That sounds Awesome! If there isn't a "surprise" appearance from another race, it'll let me down a bit (although he said exotic weapons, as opposed to saying ork, essentially confirming another alien species), but they want there reveal and they deserve it, which race, is still a mystery of course.
No mention of competitive/co-op multiplayer mentioned, odd, not even a question about it. Another reveal incoming? Hopefully, Ai can never replace real squad mates. All in all this is looking solid. Also firewarrior was cool, my mom said so and I don't care what you guys say.
