It have been confirmed that Sony internal developer, Santa Monica Studios, have suffered an undisclosed number of layoffs. Santa Monica Studios are perhaps renowned primarily for their work on the popular Playstation exclusive series, God of War, and form part of Sony Computer Entertainment. It has been reported that these redundancies have occurred following the defunking of an unannounced IP outside of the God of War franchise, which was revealed by one of the writers to be a vehicular shooter.
