Daybreak Lays Off Former Sony Online Entertainment Staffers

Just last week, Sony sold off Sony Online Entertainment to Columbus Nova. The studio is now known as Daybreak Game Company, and unfortunately, it had to lay off some of its employees.

"As part of a strategic decision to rationalize the business, Daybreak Game Company announced today that it will eliminate positions in both its San Diego and Austin studios," the company told Eurogamer.

"This alignment of resources better positions the newly independent studio for future growth opportunities and developments, including delivering on its legacy of making top online games and establishing a solid foundation for future multi-platform success."

While the company wouldn't say how many were let go, it did confirm the layoffs wouldn't hinder any of the projects currently in development. "These reductions will have no impact on our current games, including future games like EverQuest Next, and will better position our newly independent studio for future success," it added.
