Here's What We Know

Tencent has announced that a "staff reduction" has taken place at the London office of Sharkmob. However, it is not known how many people were laid off.

Pocket Gamer claims that the majority of the team was fired, but Tencent has not confirmed this information. At the same time, it is known about the cancellation of an unannounced game.
