According to a report from GameIndustryBiz, 21 jobs could be lost at EA’s Visceral Melbourne Studio following a news announcement from the studio’s management team:

 

The team had apparently been working on a new AAA title for consoles for three years, but new VP of the EA Games Label Patrick Soderland killed the project on the grounds it would not be a financial success for the company.
While EA has refused to comment on the rumours, the IGDA Melbourne confirmed the reports through its official Twitter account.

In the past Visceral Melbourne has worked on Dead Space, Godfather 2 and Dante’s Inferno.
