Wildlife Studios, the mobile gaming company behind titles like Tennis Clash and Zooba, has laid off nearly 300 employees, primarily from its studios in Brazil and Argentina. This significant reduction, described by staff as "massive," represents a strategic shift as the company cancels all initiatives outside the mobile game space to refocus on core game development. The layoffs, announced recently, affected a wide range of roles including engineering, art, design, and data science. Despite this contraction, Wildlife has been actively expanding through new studio investments in locations like Helsinki and Stockholm, indicating a reallocation of resources within the competitive mobile gaming industry.
