The layoffs will affect only the Vancouver division.
The company says that their goal is to reorganize the studio in order to achieve greater efficiency from it.
DeNA representatives stressed that the Western market will remain one of the key ones for the company. They emphasized that the decision to lay off employees has nothing to do with the recent news about the alliance with Nintendo. Recall that recently two Japanese companies announced the beginning of cooperation. Its goal is to create mobile games.
The Venturebeat resource writes that David Phan, product manager at the Canadian branch of DeNA, confirmed the information about the reorganization with a post on social networks. “Today is a sad day for the western branch of DeNA, as many of us, including me, have been laid off due to serious staff cuts,” Fan said. He expressed the hope that former DeNA employees will not be left behind.
