UK based Empire Interactive hasn't been doing well in the past few years with its sole sales hit being the Flatout racing game series. Today Empire's parent company Silverstar Holdings announced some restructuring in the pubisher including a 30 percent reduction in Empire's staff.

Empire plans to do most of its staff cutting by selling off Razorworks, its internal game developer that it bought in 2000. The company announced that it has several unnamed suitors to buy out Razorworks and hopes to close it down in the next few weeks. Empire emphasized that it does not plan to sell off any of its game rights.
