Xbox lays off Gears of War: E-Day's story director barely two weeks before the game's launch

Xbox lays off Gears of War: E-Day's story director barely two weeks before the game's launch The Ordeal. The story director for Gears of War: E-Day has been laid off as part of yesterday's Xbox cuts, barely two weeks before the game he's worked on for more than four years is released. Juan Vaca, who joined Gears of War: E-Day developer Coalition in 2022, announced he had been laid off from the company on LinkedIn last night. Studios Rare and World's Edge were moved under Activision's control, Playground and Turn 10 will merge into one studio focused on Fable and Forza, and Obsidian - which is making a new Fallout game - now reports into Bethesda.
