Amazon Game Studios, which is currently developing the online games Crucible and New World, told affected employees on Thursday morning that they would have 60 days to look for new positions within Amazon, according to one person who was laid off. At the end of that buffer period, if they fail to find employment, they will receive severance packages.

Amazon also canceled some unannounced games, that person told Kotaku.

The company wouldn’t say exactly how many employees it laid off, but confirmed the news when reached by Kotaku today.

“Amazon Game Studios is reorganizing some of our teams to allow us to prioritize development of New World, Crucible, and new unannounced projects we’re excited to reveal in the future,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. “These moves are the result of regular business planning cycles where we align resources to match evolving, long-range priorities. We’re working closely with all employees affected by these changes to assist them in finding new roles within Amazon. Amazon is deeply committed to games and continues to invest heavily in Amazon Game Studios, Twitch, Twitch Prime, AWS, our retail businesses, and other areas within Amazon.”

Matsuda wasn't shy about his commitment or desire to re-release as many older games as possible. "If it’s a popular series, we want to revive the whole series regardless of what the profitability looks like on individual titles," he said. "We’d rather put the entire series out there so it can be played again."

Of course, that's been easier said than done, as Matsuda shared with us the challenges of tracking down code for older titles, calling it "troubling." We're guessing based on this, more re-releases of older games are in the future, as long as Square Enix has all the elements necessary to do so.

Humble Bundle’s previously published titles include A Hat In Time, Slay the Spire, Void Bastards, Forager, and more.

A new rumor has surfaced claiming that Rockstar Games is currently working on a remake of Red Dead Redemption that will release sometime in late 2020 or early 2021, which presumably suggests it's in development for both PS4 and PS5 and both Xbox One and Xbox Scarlett, and maybe PC as well. It also shares a few interesting tidbits about the remake, alongside revealing that Rockstar is also working on Red Dead Redemption 2 story DLC featuring aliens (more on that here).

The rumor alleges that the project is more of a remake than a remaster, and that it brings over the features from the new game. In other words, it makes it more in-line with Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay and features wise. Meanwhile, the map is also being made bigger, though it won't include Red Dead Redemption 2's map.
The rumor also claims that Rob Wiethoff -- the voice of John Marston -- has come back to record new lines of dialogue to help connect the two stories, in other words, lines that reference Arthur and the events of the first game. It's unclear if other actors received similar call backs, but you'd assume if they brought back Wiethoff, they'd bring back others as well.

Apparently, the remake was supposed to release on the game's 10-year anniversary, which is next year, but development issues might mean it's pushed to 2021. Further, some of Red Dead Online team has been shifted to the project to ensure it releases on time. And this is perhaps the bit that sticks out and potentially discredits the rumor. There's certainly a lot of reasons to release a remake of the first game -- namely making a TON of money -- but to pull people from Red Dead Online to do so seems odd, because there's much more profit potential in Red Dead Online, but at the moment it's not being realized, mostly due to slow and lackluster support.
