It looks like Eidos has confirmed with Kotaku that they will be doing some more cuts at Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics. The developer was hit earlier this year with cuts and it is possible that the low sales of their most recent title Tomb Raider Underworld could be the cause of these cuts. With Eidos being bought by Square Enix it could be possible that they are looking to move the franchise to a different development house. Check out the official quote below.
Eidos Spokesperson:
‘We can confirm that Crystal Dynamics
has made a reduction of approximately 25 people at the San Francisco
studio. This decision is a reflection of the continued drive to focus
resources at the studio. We would like to thank all of the employees
affected by this difficult decision for their hard work…’
