PlayStation’s Visual Arts is the latest gaming company to have been hit by layoffs.
As spotted by VGC, a number of developers from Visual Arts Service Group have taken to social media to announce their redundancies and seek out new opportunities.
“Unfortunately, following a wave of layoffs, last week was my last at Playstation,” senior level designer Daniel Bellemere – who’s worked on blockbuster games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Immortals Fenyx Rising – wrote on LinkedIn.
“While this is certainly not news I was hoping for, I’m grateful to have had a chance to work amongst extremely talented colleagues on incredible projects and I’m leaving with good memories of my time there. I am starting to actively look for my next challenge.”
The Last of Us Part 1 rigging artist Sean Teo left a similar note on their LinkedIn page: “My contract at PlayStation Visual Arts has unfortunately come to an end. I am currently looking for a new role and I am flexible with working on video games, cinematic films, and commercial work.”
