Developer Splash Damage has said that it is laying off a "small number" of staff.
In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, the studio said that it was cutting roles at the company following staff taking to social media to say their jobs were at risk.
"Following a recent business review, we have reached a point where we must adapt our structure to better suit the needs of our current and future games. Despite every effort to avoid it, this unfortunately means that a small number of roles across the studio are potentially at risk of redundancy," Splash Damage said.
"These roles are predominantly on the operations side of the business, with our development teams remaining largely unaffected. All games – both announced and unannounced – remain in development.
"We understand this is a difficult time for some, and we are committed to supporting those impacted."
Splash Damage is owned by Tencent after it acquired Leyou Technologies Holdings.
