1,Kixeye’s CEO has contacted GamesIndustry.biz to clarify recent rumors surrounding layoffs at the company. While job losses have unfortunately happened, the reports circulating online are exaggerated.

“We did indeed reorganize our efforts internally on Monday to focus resources on our most successful projects. While we don’t typically comment on internal activities, I will say that the reported numbers are incorrect, exaggerated, and we did not get rid of entire engineering teams,” said Will Harbin.

“It was tough having to say goodbye to many of our friends, but we ensured that severance packages were extremely generous and we are helping with job placement for anyone that needs it.

“We have some of the best talent in the business, we are profitable and are still hiring for other positions. We are excited about what we are launching in 2015.”(source:gamesindustry

2,Square Enix has confirmed that Smileworks employed 14 people at the time of its closure. It also offered the following statement:

“The Square Enix Group aims to choose the optimum business set-up for any target market, after careful examination of the market environment, analyzing the competitive situation and identifying the necessary business functions needed for that target market.

“However it has proved difficult to achieve the expected results from the Square Enix Smileworks business and after re-evaluation, the company has decided to close down the Square Enix Smileworks business.”

3,Grand Theft Auto 5′s PC release date has been knocked a couple of months into the future to March 24, according to an announcement today on the GTA 5 newswire. The reasons: “testing and polish”. Here’s there full statement.

“Our apologies for the slight shift in the date but the game requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be. Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans. Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March.”(source:pcgamer

Word has just arrived that Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has been delayed, but only by a week. Instead of the originally planned February 17 release, the premiere will now arrive on February 25. Subsequent episodes will release on March 4, 11 and 18 respectively, with the full retail release landing on March 20.(source:pcgamer
