Square Enix is laying off a significant number of employees, as reported by IGN and VGC. The company told impacted staff today that these cuts are part of a major reorganization of its publishing operations in the West.
Square Enix is reducing its workforce in Europe and America to streamline operations, according to president Takashi Kiryu. While the exact number of job losses hasn’t been officially announced, VGC reports that nearly 140 positions at the company’s London office are potentially affected.
According to the report, the reductions are impacting multiple areas of the company, such as information technology, marketing, publishing, sales, quality assurance, and business planning.
In 2024, Square Enix reduced the size of its teams in the West and restructured its business. As part of this, they sold several development studios – including Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montreal, and Square Enix Montreal – to Embracer.
In a recent earnings report, Square Enix announced plans to reorganize its international publishing operations. The goal is to improve how they publish games globally and make their business more efficient.
Square Enix expects to save over 3 billion yen (about $19.6 million) each year through a company restructuring. They’re also increasing their use of artificial intelligence, with a goal to automate 70% of their game quality assurance testing by 2027.
