Avalanche's New York office is also closing, and 'around 50' employees are being laid off.

    I don’t know any 2 months but it seems like the U.S. based game industry companies are now on a roll to see which can close more studios per ceo now.

      Not just the U.S.
      Avalanche Studios has their headquarters in Sweden and they’re closing their studio in Canada (per this article). Additionally, Phoenix Labs (Dauntless & Fae Farm) is a Canadian game developer and they just let go of a significant number of developers and cancelled all future projects (about 3 weeks ago): https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/dauntless-developer-phoenix-labs-lays-off-employees-and-cancels-in-development-projects-says-its-the-last-resort-to-ensure-phoenix-labs-can-survive/

      While Microsoft was the one shutting down multiple Game Developers last month, those studios are also based all over:
      Tango Gameworks - Japan
      Alpha Dog Games - Canada
      Arkane Studios - (Headquarters in France, but shutting down their Studio in the U.S.)
      Roundhouse Studios - U.S.
