Scribblenauts Developer Faces Massive Layoffs

Scribblenauts Developer Faces Massive Layoffs

Maxwell’s adventures are coming to an end. One of the more clever and imaginative puzzle games has is over. Warner Bros. has cancelled 5th Cell’s Scribblenauts: Fighting Words . While the company’s CEO, Jeremiah Slaczka, initially told Polygon that they weren’t sure what plans were, we’ve since learned that 5th Cell will still exist as a company, but 45 staff members have been fired. The total number of employees was not revealed.

Action has been quite swift since the announcement. The Scribblenauts: Fighting Words website, which was accepting applications for the iOS beta of the game, has been shut down. The official 5th Cell website remains online.

This is quite a shame. Scribblenauts and Super Scribblenauts were amazing games, and it’s always fun to fire up Scribblenauts Unlimited on the PC. Not to mention, Scribblenauts Unmasked is a lot more fun now that superhero movies are the new hotness. We’ll miss you, 5th Cell!
