Listed in: News Tags: Kaos Studios, THQ, volition
The layoffs just keep coming. Despite the impressive performance of THQ's Homefront in the market, it has now been confirmed that developers Kaos Studios, as well as Volition (Red Faction, Saints Row), have fired 33 members of their staff.
Said THQ in an official statement, "We have had to let go 16 employees at Volition, our studio in Champaign, Illinois. We must adjust our workforce to fit the studio's current needs, which is a relatively common occurrence in the game development industry."
The layoffs happened a couple of days back, March 29th, with THQ confirming that "both new and long-term employees" were affected by it.
For their part, however, they reassure that "Steps are being taken to ensure team members affected by the transition are treated with appropriate concern. The changes are not expected to affect any current or future titles in development with Volition."
Meanwhile, 17 employees were sacked from Kaos Studios, home of Homefront, leaving the studio with about 70 on staff. "Kaos has dedicated team in place that will continue to suport Homefront with an ongoing, robust DLC and content plan, as well s working on pre-production for future games."
"We have made changes to ensure that the team sze aligns to the current stages of internal product development."
THQ will also be extending outplacement assistance to help out those who have been laid off.
