The cost of the deal to sell the studio was not disclosed.
SEGA has sold real-time strategy studio Relic Entertainment. Apparently, there was a management buyout: Relic Entertainment became an independent company.
Representatives from SEGA and Relic did not disclose the cost of the deal. The partners did not explain who will retain the rights to Relic games: for example, the Company of Heroes series.
Simultaneously with the announcement of the sale of Relic Entertainment, SEGA announced staff reductions. In total, the company intends to lay off 240 people.
The layoffs will affect SEGA Europe, Creative Assembly and SEGA HARDlight. SEGA Europe and Creative Assembly will bear the brunt of the impact, while SEGA HARDlight will lay off far fewer employees.
SEGA promises that the cuts and sale of Relic will ensure the future of the company's gaming business.
