Take-Two, the writer with Rockstar and 2K beneath its belt has begun one other spherical of layoffs throughout a number of branches of its enterprise, together with its indie writer Non-public Division.
Non-public Division has just lately printed titles like Kerbal House Program 2, OlliOlli World, Rollerdrome, and Hades.
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reviews that Take-Two spokesperson Alan Lewis says the layoffs ” ‘will higher align our group with our long-term priorities’ and that the influence on dev groups is ‘minimal.’ ”
The true impact of those layoffs has but to be felt, although it’s by no means an excellent factor to listen to coming from anyplace within the trade.
It’s particularly disheartening to see this occur to a writer that has helped deliver among the finest indie titles in the previous few years to the trade.
This isn’t the primary spherical of layoffs we’ve seen from Take-Two in 2023 nonetheless, as Rockstar was initially hit with layoffs, in all probability resulting from Grand Theft Auto V not promoting sufficient copies.
