Krome Studios, the largest developer in Australia with over 400 employees has laid off an unspecified number of staff.

The redundancies were said to be “necessary as we position Krome for the future”, said CEO Robert Walsh said in a statement to Gamespot. He added “We’re also actively pursuing several business opportunities which, if secured, will enable Krome to reemploy some of the staff given notice.”
