\n**Full Circle Studios Experiences Layoffs as It Restructures for Skate’s Future**<\/p>\n

Full Circle, the studio responsible for the online-only reboot of *Skate*, which debuted last year, has recently revealed that an undisclosed number of its developers have been let go. This choice, outlined in a message on the studio’s official site dated February 25, signifies that the studio is engaging in a restructuring effort intended to enhance the long-term prospects of the *Skate* franchise.<\/p>\n

The message from Full Circle underscores that these modifications necessitate a reassessment of team roles, affecting various positions within the studio. “These adjustments entail altering our team configuration, and certain roles will be affected,” the studio commented. They stressed that the departing employees are skilled colleagues whose input has been crucial to the development of *Skate*. Full Circle assured that the layoffs do not reflect on the individuals’ contributions to the project and expressed a commitment to assisting those transitioning out of the company.<\/p>\n

In light of the layoffs, Full Circle reiterated its ongoing dedication to *Skate* and the community of players who support it. The company promised fans that development on the game would persist, stating: “Our dedication to *Skate* and to the millions of players who support it remains strong.” They wrapped up their message with thanks towards departing team members, recognizing their efforts as essential to the game’s current experience.<\/p>\n

This announcement arrives at a moment when EA and its studios, including Full Circle, have encountered heightened scrutiny due to a series of layoffs and project cancellations. The studio’s communications do not associate these layoffs with the ongoing $55 billion acquisition deal supported by Saudi Arabia. Since its launch in September, *Skate* experienced a significant initial player count, but has struggled with retention, and the introduction of a new paid map expansion has not alleviated concerns among players. The game’s third season is scheduled to launch on March 10, offering new content for players despite the challenges faced by the development team.<\/p>\n

As the gaming industry continues to progress, Full Circle’s restructuring efforts illustrate a wider trend within the sector. The impact of such decisions on the studio’s capacity to engage and retain players is yet to be seen, but the commitment to the *Skate* franchise seems unwavering as the team navigates these changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
