Eidos trims development team

Tomb Raider: Underworld

Eidos has released 25 members of staff from its San Francisco based Crystal Dynamics studio.

According to Edge Online, Eidos released members of the Tomb Raider development team in an attempt to "focus resources".

"This decision is a reflection of the continued drive to focus resources at the studio. We would like to thank all of the employees affected by this difficult decision for their hard work during their time at Crystal and we wish them all the best in the future," the firm said in a statement.

Poor sales of Tomb Raider: Underworld were blamed for the reduction of Crystal Dynamics's staff earlier in the year, while Manchester-based Rockpool Studios was completely shut-down by Eidos in January.
