Update: Virtuos have confirmed they've made layoffs in a statement issued to Eurogamer. Around 200 workers in Asia have been let go, in addition to 70 in Europe, with "fewer than 10" of the latter at the French studios which worked on Oblivion Remastered.

Virtuos said they will be "providing separation packages, career transition assistance, and opportunities for redeployment across our global network where possible".

The company added that they remain "fully committed" to their work on Oblivion Remastered, Cyberpunk 2077, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
