Kabam, the publisher behind Disney Mirrorverse and Marvel Contest of Champions, has laid off 12% of its employees.
Per Kotaku senior reporter Ethan Gach, the developer confirmed the move yesterday.
In a statement sent to Kotaku, the firm said, "In light of current economics and the industry’s market realities, after reviewing our strategic priorities, Kabam has made the difficult decision to reduce its workforce by 12 percent."
