Crystal Dynamics Lays Off Roughly 12 of its Team Members Unaffiliated With Tomb Raider

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. August 14 - Developer of the Tomb Raider reboot, Crystal Dynamics, has issued a small number of layoffs, reported Kotaku on Monday. Those departing are not working on the next Tomb Raider title, but a new IP.

Parent company Square Enix issued this statement:

"We’ve made some decisions at Crystal Dynamics last week around the second project we’re working on, which has resulted in a small number of roles (roughly 12) becoming redundant as we re-scope the project. This doesn’t affect the Tomb Raider development team, who as confirmed last week are well into production on a next-generation sequel. We’re a close-knit team at Crystal and wouldn’t be making these changes if we didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary. We’ll help those affected as best we can and we want to thank them for their hard work and commitment. If anyone is looking for development talent, please contact:mtrout@crystald.com and we’ll put you in touch direct."
