THQ has announced a fresh round of layoffs as its new business strategy begins taking effect in a nasty way.
The firm didn’t specify how many staff were affected by the cuts, but did say first party development studios THQ San Diego, Relic, Volition, Vigil and THQ Montreal were untouched.
“THQ confirms a reduction in force to the company’s administration and publishing organization,” it said in a statement handed to Game Informer.
“The SunAs recently announced, the company is exiting the kids’ licensed games category, and is focusing on its core game franchises and developing its digital initiatives.”
THQ’s “updated business strategy” was announced shortly after the publisher denied rumours that it had cancelled multiple projects and was positioning itself for sale.
Last month, the company cut 30 staff from its family-focused Play THQ division, the Californian development team responsible for the publisher’s uDraw line of products.
