Raven Software , a subsidiary of Activision and developer behind recent titles Wolfenstein and X-Men Origins: Wolverine was hit with layoffs today. No word on just how many were let go, but Activision says it'll help the studio going forward.

"With the recent completion of both X-men Origins: Wolverine, based on the summer blockbuster movie, and Wolfenstein, the next chapter of the famed franchise, Raven Software is slightly reducing its workforce to better reflect the studios upcoming slate," an Activision spokesperson told IGN. Shacknews reports up to 50 employees from all areas of the studio were let go, a source said. That doesn't mesh with Activision's "slightly reducing" claim, however.Endrant Studios, who helped co-develop the multiplayer portions of Wolfenstein with Raven Studios, were hit with layoffs last week on the day of the game's release.
