High Voltage Software, developer of Wii shooter The Conduit, has let 25 staff go, IGN reports.

High Voltage is currently working on The Conduit 2 for Wii as well as co-op monster mash The Grinder, which has been shown as a first-person shooter on Wii and a third-person action game on PS3 and Xbox 360.
