Kotaku<\/a> <\/em>is reporting that Naughty Dog, the PlayStation first-party studio behind The Last of Us<\/a> and Uncharted<\/a> franchises, has laid off at least 25 developers, cutting their contracts short. The layoffs reportedly began last week, according to two of Kotaku’s <\/em>sources and various departments, from art to production, were hit. The majority of those laid off were in Naughty Dog’s quality assurance testing department. <\/p>\n

The 25 contract developers laid off were part of a downsizing at the studio, but Kotaku<\/i> reports that full-time staff do not appear to be affected. The publication’s sources say severance is not being offered to those laid off and those affected (as well as those still working at Naughty Dog) are “being pressured to keep the news quiet.” <\/p>\n
