Playful, the company behind New Super Lucky’s Tale, have laid off a significant number of staff.

The company said they took “significant risks” to grow in 2012, and moving forward, will be implementing a more “streamlined production model”.

Playful’s Paul and and Katy Drake Bettner have this to say:

“We are truly heartbroken to be parting ways with many of our friends and colleagues. These are people who have poured their hearts into every game Playful has created, who have supported us and each other every step of the way, and have truly made this studio what it is today. We will be working closely with each person affected by this transition to help them move forward.”
