"Since joining LucasArts in early May, I've taken a hard, critical look at our business. I've come to the conclusion that to make LucasArts thrive and to position ourselves for the long-term future, we need to make some fundamental changes."

As a result of this restructuring, 31 people from the development studio were laid off as the company will be concentrating on fewer titles. Click here to read the full press release.
