LucasArts has confirmed to
IGN the company issued layoff notices today.
A spokesperson would not comment on the number of employees let go, but an unconfirmed report from Kotaku suggests over 30% of the studio was shown the door.
"LucasArts is reorganizing its teams to better address the needs of the internal studio. Unfortunately, this means adjusting staffing," a company representative said.
"LucasArts continues to be committed to creating a first-class internal studio – and to fostering relationships with trusted external partners – in order to deliver quality games that amaze and inspire fans."
The company has been the center of attention the past few months. Paul Meegan replaced Darrell Rodriguez as president of the company in June, and Force Unleashed II producer Haden Blackman resigned in late July.
In August, former Ubisoft Montreal creative director Clint Hocking joined LucasArts to develop an unannounced project.
