Reports claim Activision lays off more workers; shuts down dev studio


Last August, on the heels of poor sales of Wolfenstein, Activision made the decision to lay off a number of team members at its Raven Software dev studio. This week two separate reports claim the publisher has cut more team members from another studio and shut down a third one entirely.

Activision has admitted to Kotaku that a number of team members from 7 Studios have been let go "to better reflect Activision's upcoming slate of music-based games." Kotaku estimates 30 team members have been laid off from the studio which Activision just acquired earlier this year. Another Kotaku report states that their Shaba Studios offices have been closed completely, with another 30 team members out looking for work. If true this means Activision may have let go of as many as 100 total team members in the past couple of months.
