A post to the Dungeon Defenders II website has the news that Trendy Entertainment has suffered some layoffs. Kotaku has a follow-up statement from the developer saying: "We have made the full resources of our organization available for our departing friends and colleagues to help ease them swiftly through this difficult period of transition." Here's the original post:

It’s with great sadness today that we announce some layoffs at our Gainesville studio. These people are not only our co-workers, but our family and our friends. We made the hard decision that a smaller more focused team would be better able to deliver on our overall goals.

This move will reinforce our plans to deliver Dungeon Defenders II out of Early Access as the experience that you deserve. So, stick with us as we update all of our game systems, release new heroes, and continue to defend Etheria.
