UPDATE: 10 Chambers has cut a number of roles as part of a "significant restructuring" that has also impacted several of the studio's co-founders.

A company representative confirmed the news in a statement to Game Developer and said the studio must reorganise to position Den of Wolves for success.

my take on these trailers so far is "if you commission me to play it, i'll play it"

Report: GTFO developer 10 Chambers lays off staff GTFO and Den of Wolves developer 10 Chambers has reportedly laid off staff during a recent restructuring, around the same time one of its co-founders left.

it (reportedly) seems it wasn't just the co-founder of 10 chambers parting ways with the studio last week

the thing is, it's been proven time and time again that games can be wildly successful *and* companies will lay off its workers anyway

Weird thing to write but for the first time in ten years I'm looking for a new job. Current contract is up after May so if you see anything that seems like a fit for me keep me in mind!

and it's being delisted when this launches (unless you want to pay for a $120 bundle that includes it)

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties review: How not to do a remake | VGC Sega delivers a disappointing remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken…

yakuza kiwami 3 is an insult to the game rgg has purported to remake, its players, the studio's previous quality output and, bewilderingly, women. oh, and the casting of an admitted sex pest. i'm somewhere between dejection and fury.

my review for vgc:
