About 670 employees will lose their jobs.
Electronic Arts plans to cut approximately 5% of its workforce to adapt to the “industry transformation.” The company employs about 13,400 people, meaning approximately 670 employees will lose their jobs.
In addition, Electronic Arts plans to bet on games based on its own franchises. The company will continue to develop games under licenses (for example, Disney), but their number in the portfolio will apparently decrease.
And here's another story
There is no talk of canceling already announced games under licenses. Electronic Arts studios continue to work on projects about Iron Man and Black Panther, and the Star Wars Jedi series will also continue.
At the same time, Electronic Arts canceled Respawn's unannounced Star Wars game, as well as F1 Mobile Racing, The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth, and a number of other games.
According to IGN, the cuts will mainly affect support teams. If possible, developers will be shuffled between projects rather than fired.
