## Summary

Sucker Punch Productions reportedly laid off 24 workers as it reviews staffing needs for its next project amid challenging market conditions. The cuts come shortly after the studio released a well-received expansion for Ghost of Yōtei, highlighting how job losses have continued across the games industry even as major releases find large audiences.

The studio is said to have around 200 employees, though the exact total is unclear. Ghost of Yōtei sold 3.3 million copies in its first month after launching last October. The cuts are part of a wider wave of industry redundancies: EA recently closed BioWare and cut around 400 jobs, while Xbox has said it plans to shed about 3,200 workers over 12 months.
