Sony has laid off about 30% of the staff at Bend Studio, the first-party developer of the PlayStation 4 open-world game Days Gone. The publisher confirmed the layoffs in a statement to GameSpot.
According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, about 40 people were laid off from the studio.
In its statement, Sony also confirmed that Bend Studio had been working on a live-service game earlier in the year, but that game has been canceled and the studio is moving on to a new, unnamed project.
