Square Enix is undergoing mass layoffs today, potentially impacting over 100
individuals, alongside a broader effort to consolidate its publishing
organization and focus its development work in Japan.

Square Enix 今天正在進行大規模裁員，可能會影響 100 多人，同時該公司也在進行更
廣泛的整合，以鞏固其發行部門，並將開發工作重心放在日本。


Via public posts from former employees as well as confirmation from internal
sources, IGN has learned that employees in the UK and US are being informed
of the layoffs today, with an unknown number of US employees being dismissed
by the end of the week, and a possible 137 jobs at risk in the UK. Under UK
law, Square Enix must undergo redundancy consultations to see if any jobs can
potentially be saved, so the final number in the UK could be smaller. It is
not yet clear which teams were impacted by this, or to what extent.




Internally, a slide presentation now publicly available was also shared with
employees earlier today, offered a progress report on Square Enix's ongoing
"reorganization of overseas organizations", of which this restructuring seems
to be a part. Per Square Enix, the strategy has already involved "clos[ing]
overseas development studios and shift[ing] toward consolidating development
functions in Japan."




As a part of this, Square Enix already sold Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montreal,
Square Enix Montreal, and a number of associated IPs to Embracer Group. It
also already laid off workers across its Western operations in 2024.

作為其中的一部分，Square Enix 已將 Crystal Dynamics、Eidos-Montreal、Square
Enix Montreal 以及一些相關 IP 出售給了 Embracer Group。此外，該公司已於2024 年
在其西部業務部門裁員。


That leaves Square Enix with the Life Is Strange, Outriders, and Just Cause
franchises currently managed by its Western studios, as well as the
publishing of Powerwash Simulator.

如此一來，Square Enix 目前還擁有由其西方工作室管理的《奇異人生》、
《Outriders》、《Just Causefranchises》系列遊戲，以及《Powerwash Simulator》
的發行權。


In the same presentation shared today, Square Enix also shared that it
expects 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027.
The company has stated in the past that it intends to be "aggressive in
applying AI" across both development and publishing.
