Pokémon Go maker Niantic will lay off 230 staff – around a quarter of the company – and has cancelled a major upcoming project developed in conjunction with Marvel.
The company will close its recently-released NBA All-World game, end development of its upcoming Marvel World of Heroes project, and shut down its Los Angeles development studio. The news was communicated to staff via an email from company founder John Hanke, which has now been made public.
Pokémon Go, which remains lucrative, is safe. Indeed, Hanke calls it the company’s “top priority” as it slims down and refocuses on the future.
