Capcom Europe to cut more than half its staff

Capcom Europe is undergoing a major restructure following a difficult year.

MCV understands more than half of the European arm faces redundancy, with a number of jobs set to merge.

The Western business of Capcom has suffered after a number of its big titles failed to meet expectations.

A spokesperson told MCV: Following a restructure at its US operation, Capcom’s European organisation is currently evaluating its structure to ensure it is in the best position to take advantage of the changing market conditions the industry is facing.”

Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
