## Summary

Sucker Punch Studios is reportedly laying off 24 employees, despite its latest game, Ghost of Yōtei, selling millions of copies. The reported cuts highlight how strong sales for a major release do not necessarily prevent job losses at the studio that made it.

The number comes from a LinkedIn post by former Sucker Punch designer David Bull, who said he was among those affected. The article does not give a reason for the layoffs or specify how many copies the game has sold; the cuts are reported rather than confirmed by the studio.
