LucasArts have confirmed that after cutbacks to their internal development studios they'll be losing an estimated 85 members of staff. One former employee, according to Kotaku, described the cuts as a "massacre".
"LucasArts is reorganizing its teams to better address the needs of the internal studio. Unfortunately, this means adjusting staffing," claims the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II developer. "LucasArts continues to be committed to creating a first-class internal studio - and to fostering relationships with trusted external partners - in order to deliver quality games that amaze and inspire fans."
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is still set for a September release.
