Striking Distance was founded by Glen Schofield, who is best known for his work on the Dead Space and Call of Duty franchises. Schofield left the company in 2023 and is hyping up a mysterious project.

Layoffs in the video game industry have been a repeated event in the past few years, and the unfortunate trend has continued so far in 2025, with layoffs impacting the Marvel Rivals US team, Crytek, and BioWare, among others.
