25 devs laid off at Gearbox

US independent makes up to 25 staff redundant, but Aliens project still in production

Gearbox Software has laid off up to 25 of its staff as part of a strategy shift at the studio, according to reports on the web published over the weekend.

Originally, sources reported that the redundancies came as production on Sega's Aliens: Colonial Marines was halted, but studio head Randy Pitchford has denied the game's cancellation.

MCV's sister site Develop has the complete story.
