Hefty layoffs hit the Onrush studio

Arcade racer Onrush released earlier this year from the team formerly known as Evolution Studios, but now a new report has emerged that the game director Paul Rustchynsky - who also had the same role on Driveclub - has been let go from the studio, along with a number of senior developers in the team.

Codemasters acquired the studio two years ago, and the report claims that it has been "decapitated" by redundancies, with some required to re-interview for positions. There's also reportedly suspicions that the remaining staff will now be a support studio, or will work on projects with less risk.
