Layoffs at Guild Wars 2 publisher

Guild Wars 2 publisher NCsoft has enacted a round of layoffs at its Seattle, Washington, headquarters following a realignment of internal publishing resources. Public relations director Lincoln Davis confirmed the news to PC Gamer.

"NCsoft is realigning internal publishing resources to better suit the needs of our game development studios," Davis said. "As a result of the realignment, several employees and contract positions were affected. This was a very tough decision to make and wish the best for all NCsoft employees in their next ventures."

It is not clear if the layoffs at NCsoft's Seattle office will have any effect on ongoing support and development of Guild Wars 2 or any of the company's other products and services.
