Crystal Dynamics, the San Francisco based developer responsible for the resurrection of the Tomb Raider series, has been forced to let go a further 25 members of their staff, as a spokesperson confirms the bad news:
“We can confirm that Crystal Dynamics has made a reduction of approximately 25 people at the San Francisco studio. This decision is a reflection of the continued drive to focus resources at the studio.
“We would like to thank all of the employees affected by this difficult decision for their hard work during their time at Crystal and we wish them all the best in the future.”
This news comes after a rather tumultuous time for the developer and operating publisher, Eidos, after Crystal Dynamics saw layoffs due to an underperformance of their latest title, Tomb Raider: Underworld, while Eidos itself was acquired by Japanese gaming giant, Square Enix.
