Veteran game developer Peter Molyneux's UK studio 22Cans has undergone a round of layoffs. Multiple employees were let go in the move, but the precise number of cuts was not made public.

A spokesperson confirmed to GI.biz that the layoffs at the Fable designer's studio were due to a variety of reasons. "Unfortunately, due to a number of factors including projects reaching a certain stage in their development, we can confirm that a number of roles at 22cans have been made redundant," the statement said. "Development at the studio is continuing, however."

Affected staff are being provided assistance to find new jobs, the report said.
