According to Variety Firaxis has let go of 20 employees. The individuals let go were involved in past Civilization titles, as well as the forthcoming Civlization V.

Fireaxis owner Take-Two says that the cuts are a “realignment of development resources at the studio,” and that  “these reductions will not impact Firaxis’ ability to create and deliver AAA titles, including its forthcoming Sid Meier’s Civilization V and Sid Meier’s Civilization Network for Facebook.” 

According to Variety, the 20 departing employees comprise approximately 15% of the studio’s workforce. 

Civilisation V is still on track for its September 24 release.
