Yesterday, word about layoffs at Hitman and Kane & Lynch studio IO Interactive hit gaming news sites. A Square Enix representative has since confirmed that "internal changes" have indeed affected IO.

Speaking to GameSpot, a representative explained that the layoffs are "a natural part of any studio's existence when you ramp up and ramp down on projects."

The rep didn't specify how many people were laid off. The earlier report which originated from a tweet by 3D Realms boss George Broussard estimated it at around 35. The rep also didn't mention which project got canned.
