Force Unleashed Programmers Let Loose

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

With about 100 employees laid off in June, LucasArts stated that they are still committed to internal development with The Force Unleashed as well as Indiana Jones. However it has been revealed that a number of employees working on The Force Unleashed had been cut just as the game was wrapping up with development. Hopefully these layoffs will not affect the quality of the game. However if the game becomes a hit and LucasArts decides to do a sequel, the current team will not have enough personnel to undertake the project.
