Today, EA canceling Black Panther games and closing developer Cliffhanger Studios may be one of the most disappointing news we've heard this year, but there may be a follow-up to that matter.According to uncle eXtas1s, EA will soon lay off 400 employees, including closing the Codemasters headquarters.

eXtas1s tweeted: "Exclusive news about EA: canceling Black Panther, that's not over. I've heard that EA is about to lay off 400 people, completely shutting down Codemasters headquarters building, and the affected employees of Codemasters will be integrated into the EA Sports (F1) team and the new Need for Speed ​​development team."

Codemasters has developed classic series such as "Dust" and "Super RV Race", but the studio performed poorly after being acquired by EA.EA has recently confirmed that Codemasters has stopped developing the WRC series, and employees have either been laid off or transferred to other projects.The news from eXtas1s today means that EA will completely close Codemasters studio and transfer employees to the "F1" and "Need for Speed" series projects.

It is worth mentioning that this will be EA's second round of layoffs this year. Not long ago, EA also attacked the developers of "Titanfall" and "Apex Heroes", resulting in two projects being cut, one of which is said to be the evacuated version of "Titanfall" game.
