Trion Worlds has been forced to lay off a number of employees. The online developer recently confirmed news that has been rumoured for sometime.

"Trion Layoffs are happening. Not a good day. If anyone has a lead for a Sr. QA or Assistant Lead QA job, please let me know," said Katie Biernacki, a customer service employee at mobile developer The Playforge.

"Layoffs at Trion @riftgame today. I managed to survive this time. Lots of really good people got let go though," said Trion Worlds senior engineer Toby Lael.

An official statement confirmed the news:

"As a response to market conditions, product timelines and the natural evolution of our company, we have made some organizational changes, which include a workforce reduction. This was a difficult decision and we wish the best for those affected by these changes. At Trion, we remain focused on delivering top quality online game experiences, and are committed to supporting Rift and launching our highly anticipated new titles Defiance, Warface, and End of Nations in 2013."

We wish all those affected well.
