PS All-Stars studio SuperBot hit with a round of lay-offs

Sony has confirmed to various sources that lay-offs have occurred at PlayStation All-Stars studio SuperBot Entertainment.

The news was broken overnight on Twitter via Mike Birkhead, a designer at Insomniac. He later tweeted that the number affected was "around 20."

Sony later confirmed the news by issuing the following statement to various outlets:

"SCEA can confirm that SuperBot Entertainment did make a reduction in their workforce today. The studio and SCEA remain committed to supporting PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale post launch, including developing the title’s forthcoming DLC releases in the coming months.”

Information on whether those hit by lay-offs were temporary or contract employees is unknown.
