It has become known that The Last of Us developer Naughty Dog has cancelled contracts with several dozen developers
A new report by Kotaku suggests that Naughty Dog, known for The Last of Us series, is cutting the contracts of dozens of employees.
Here's What We Know
A source claims that the studio announced internal layoffs last week. According to the source, at least 25 developers were laid off, with layoffs affecting both art and production, although most of the fired employees were still from QA.
The report says that the core staff does not appear to have been affected by the cuts. Sony has not yet provided a comment on the matter when asked by Kotaku. The Naughty Dog layoffs are the latest massive layoffs to hit the gaming industry this year, as many companies adjust their expansion in the wake of the pandemic.
It is unclear whether this will have any impact on the studio's project development.
