Electronic Arts, one of the leading names in the video game industry, has announced that it will carry out a new round of mass layoffs.
The company plans to reduce its workforce by another 5 percent. It is estimated that approximately 650 people will be laid off as a result. This decision by the company is considered part of a restructuring process and aims to streamline its operating mechanism.
The layoff process is expected to be completed in the second quarter of the year. On the other hand, the cancellation of a new Star Wars game appears to have been a factor in this decision. In a statement to staff, CEO Andrew Wilson noted that reducing costs would allow the company to focus on new opportunities.
