1UP kunne i går, via to anonyme kilder, fortælle, at det bestemt ikke ser godt ud for canadiske Silicon Knights. De skal angiveligt have fyret op imod 75 % af deres ansatte (fra 97 til nu 25). Det kommer dog ikke som den allerstørste overraskelse. Spilproducenten nåede en begrænset succes med Too Human (X360) fra 2008 og har senest haft fingrene i X-Men: Destiny, som kom og gik uden de store armbevægelser.

All but 25 staff at the Canadian video game development studio Silicon Knights have been laid off, according to sources close to the company.

Silicon Knights has not officially confirmed the cuts, but two credible independent sources contacted us with the information over the weekend. One wrote that “Silicon Knights has had massive layoffs. They are now down to a core staff of 25 people.” The other said, “It may interest you to note that SK laid off all but 25 employees today.”
