Sources close to Gamespot say Day 1, the studio responsible for Fracture and F.E.A.R. 3, has trimmed off 100 of its employees as it gets ready to close up shop.

A whopping 95 percent of Day 1's Silent Scope team was laid off following the cancellation of a deal made with Konami for another game in the series. It's been a decade since we've seen an entry in the sniper-centric arcade shooter, and it looks like we'll have to wait even longer now.

We wish everyone at Day 1 the best of luck in this time of transition.
