PlayStation Hit With More Layoffs Following Recent Game Cancellations | Sony's PlayStation Visual Arts team faces fresh cuts as the company continues reorganizing


Sony's PlayStation Visual Arts team faces fresh cuts as the company continues reorganizing

While some of the cuts included staff who had contributed to recently canceled projects like an upcoming live-service game at Bend Studio, a source told Kotaku the layoffs were more widespread than that. The team provides internal art and technical support to first-party PlayStation studios and worked closely with Naughty Dog on the recent Last of Us Part 1 and 2 remasters among other projects. The layoffs come after an expensive failure in last year’s Concord, new rounds of live-service project cancellations including a reported God of War spin-off at BluePoint Games, and a reorganization within the top echelons of Sony leadership.
