LucasArts Layoffs Include KotOR III Team

GameSpot has now confirmed that thirty-one LucasArts employees were let go, which includes a team that was working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic III. A snippet from their news:
Today, LucasArts began to outline what exactly said changes would entail. Firstly, in-house development will be scaled way back, because "the company will be concentrating on fewer titles," read the statement. While Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars Republic Commando remain at LucasArts, the publisher has farmed out development on its as-yet-untitled Episode III game to The Collective. The Southern California studio has developed several titles for LucasArts, including Wrath Unleashed and Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb.
