“Following our business review over the last six weeks, we are initiating a clear action plan based on three fundamental strands of activity: a radical change in our structure to a studio-led business, a top to bottom programme of product improvement and efficiency and a considerable cost reduction plan To get SCi on track we have to act rapidly and effect change quickly. We must allow the world-class people that we have within the Group to focus on strong, profitable titles which will create the value our shareholders deserve. I am confident our staff share this vision and excitement for the future, and determination to build a working environment where our innovation and creativity can be commercially realized.” - Phil Rogers, CEO

SCi has canceled 14 projects, and plans to focus on core brands like Hitman and Tomb Raider. There are also plans to open a casual branch called Eidos Play. No specific games/supported platforms were announced.
