Ghost of Yotei Developer Sucker Punch Hit With Layoffs

Ghost of Yotei developer Sucker Punch has laid off some staff, just a little over a year after the release of its last game. Aftermath reported that the studio let 26 employees go, just weeks after Ghost of Yotei's DLC and Complete Edition were released on PS5. The studio has roughly 200 employees as it stands. Aftermath shared an email that was sent out to the team from studio leadership, which reveals that "challenges in the market" and changes in the scope of the team for its next project were the deciding factors in the layoffs.
