Lightspeed LA 在行業重組潮中裁員
Lightspeed LA Cuts Jobs Amid Industry-Wide Restructuring

騰訊旗下的光子工作室群所屬之爾灣工作室「Lightspeed LA」，近期證實了一項重大的裁員消息。
Lightspeed LA, the Irvine-based subsidiary of Tencent’s Lightspeed Studios, recently confirmed a major workforce reduction.
此舉是為了因應該工作室備受矚目的開放世界動作遊戲《Last Sentinel》所採取的戰略調整。
This move is a direct consequence of a strategic pivot regarding 'Last Sentinel,' the studio’s highly anticipated open-world action game set in a near-future Tokyo.
儘管該項目已開發六年且預算龐大，但內部審查與試玩結果顯示其表現不如預期。
Despite six years of development and a massive budget, internal reviews and playtesting suggested the project was not meeting expectations.
因此，工作室正重新評估其創作方向，以期讓遊戲重回正軌。
Consequently, the studio is reevaluating its creative direction to get the title back on track.
儘管此次裁員幅度顯著，Lightspeed LA 仍堅持北美地區依舊是其全球遊戲戰略的基石。
While the layoffs are significant, Lightspeed LA maintains that North America remains a cornerstone of its global gaming strategy.
此項決策也反映了更廣泛的產業趨勢，隨著騰訊在全球投資組合波動之際，持續重新評估其西方工作室的營運狀況。《
The decision is also reflective of broader industry trends, as Tencent continues to re-evaluate its Western studio operations amid global portfolio turbulence.
目前，工作室的首要任務是支援受影響的團隊成員，並度過這段充滿挑戰的重組期。
For now, the focus is on supporting the affected team members and navigating this challenging period of restructuring.
