Civilization developer Firaxis is laying off staff


Firaxis, the developer of Civilization VII, is reportedly laying off a dozen or more employees as it restructures.

The studio's publisher and owner 2K confirmed that the layoffs were happening as Firaxis "restructures and optimizes" for "adaptability, collaboration, and creativity." Despite delaying its hotly anticipated cash cow Grand Theft Auto VI, Take-Two shared in March that it expected five percent growth in revenue and net bookings for the rest of the year, according to Game Developer. The game features a new approach to the series' turn-based gameplay, letting players mix and match world leaders and civilizations to their strategic benefit.
