Layoffs Have Impacted Sharkmob’s London Office, Confirms Tencent

1 week ago 37

Tencent has revealed that layoffs have hit Sharkmob London, as the studio is one of many video game companies to have suffered job losses this year.

In line with many studios, Sharkmob has been impacted by the difficult conditions across the video gaming market. As a result, regrettably, Sharkmob has had to make a reduction in headcount in its London office. Tencent remains committed to Sharkmob and the launch of its upcoming game, Exoborne.

Sharkmob confirmed last month that it had cancelled one of its upcoming projects and as a result said that it would have to make a number of layoffs at the company, although at the time no decision has been made in regards to how many people would lose their jobs. This year has been unprecedented in the number of layoffs the video games industry has faced, and doesn’t look set to stop anytime soon.
