SEGA have sold their stake in Humankind developer Amplitude Studios as a part of a management buyout. The studio has now become an independent and will thankfully continue to exist.
SEGA have made considerable lay-offs to staff internally as well as staff working at The Creative Assembly and SEGA Hardlight across 2024 as a part of their corporate restructure. It’s all a bit cold and uncaring for an industry that is reportedly one of the most successful entertainment mediums around nowadays.
Under SEGA, Amplitude developed Humankind, Endless Dungeon and Endless Space 2. The studio mainly specialised in strategy titles for a PC audience.
SEGADriven would like to wish everyone at Amplitude Studios our very best and hope the studio manage to continue their work and success as an independent.
