Freestyle Games, the Guitar Hero Live developer, has suffered a set of redundancies but will remain open, according to a statement from owner, Activision.
According to Eurogamer, a source close to the situation suggested that around 50 Freestyle employees have lost their jobs after consultations in February. The studio's website suggests that around 100 people worked there previously.
Activision confirmed the layoffs - but did not state an exact figure - in a statement:
"Activision and FreeStyle Games leadership have been considering a range of future options for the studio, and have been consulting with staff to explore all alternatives. The collective team have now reached the end of a consultation exercise and the decision has been made to restructure FreeStyleGames to better align the studio resources with future business needs. We are working with the studio teams to explore options to rebalance staff within Activision Blizzard and its related organisations. The UK remains a key market for Activision Blizzard and FreeStyleGames continues to be a great partner. We thank all of the team for their continued passion, creativity and commitment."
