UK-based video game publisher and developer Team 17 has been hit with layoffs.
"In response to the reports concerning the departure of Michael Pattison from Team17, we can confirm we have amicably parted ways with Michael," reads a statement from Team 17 sent to VG247.
"We can also confirm that we have sadly entered into a period of consultation today within Team17 Digital, with Astragon and Storytoys remaining unaffected by the restructuring plans."
Pattison was the CEO of Team 17 Digital and more jobs are at risk at Team 17 Digital as they enter a restructuring phase. It isn't known how many will be laid off.
Team 17 has developed a number of title including the Worms franchise, Overcooked, The Escapists, as well as publishing dozens of titles.
