LucasArts has admitted that it has made a "minor adjustment in staffing" this week which of course is the code word for "layoffs". According to what unnamed sources have told Gamasutra as many as 50 people received their notices at the publisher this week. This new round follows a previous round of layoffs made just a couple of months ago.

LucasArts stated, "We remain committed to our internal studio – and to fostering relationships with trusted external partners – in order to deliver quality games that amaze and inspire fans." The publisher's most recent release was Star Wars The Force Unleashed II which came out last month. In February the company will publish Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars. Recently LucasArts sold off most of the publishing rights to EA for the upcoming MMO Star Wars The Old Republic.
