Uh-oh. When Konami cut its funding for Six Days, there were reports of layoffs in Atomic Games, but Atomic stated that development would continue with a smaller team of developers, using funding from sister company Destineer. But is that true? Industry Gamers has received word from an anonymous source that of the initial team of 75, less than a dozen are left, and they'll be gone soon, too. Will Six Days in Fallujah ever see the light of day?

Atomic did not comment on the number of affected employees, simply stating that development would continue with a smaller team funded by sister company Destineer, which purchased Atomic in 2005. However, IndustryGamers has heard from an anonymous source who claims, "Out of 75 people, less than a dozen are left and about a third of that isn't even developers. The remaining team is basically a skeleton cleanup crew that will be gone soon too. They are trying to downplay the extent of these layoffs, but the reality is that Atomic is pretty much dead."
