Visual Concepts Austin – known for its work on WWE 2K23, NBA 2K24, and Lego 2K Drive – is the latest studio to be affected by layoffs across the video games industry.
While the exact number of those impacted by these recent layoffs remains unclear, the studio’s former art manager Brad Bowling said he and a “group of very talented developers” were affected. “The games industry bloodletting continues,” Bowling wrote on LinkedIn.
Software engineer Sydney F. is another known to be laid off from Visual Concepts Austin this month. “It’s definitely rough,” she wrote, stating she is one of “several other amazing colleagues” to have been affected by the studio cuts. “I will miss all of those that I worked with greatly.”
