Sony Online Entertainment has confirmed it has had to lay off 5% of staff.
The move is apparently to “increase operational efficiency” with 41 members of staff leaving the company.
A spokesperson confirmed the news to IndustryGamers but assured everyone the company is still looking forward to continuing its push with upcoming titles The Agency and DC Universe Online.
“SOE looks forward to continuing its leadership role in the online games industry as it celebrates the highly successful launch of Free Realms, the 10-year commemoration of its ground-breaking EverQuest franchise, and the continued performance of the company’s other games."
SOE isn’t the first company this week to announce job losses with Red Dead Redemption developer Rockstar San Diego and the folks behind God of War: Ghost of Sparta both trimming their numbers.
