Following a string of rumours swirling around the internet, Capcom posted a statement on Twitter, “Capcom Vancouver has let go 7% of our employees as a result of unsuitable fit with the studio goals.”

The company then followed this statement by highlighting they’re still actively looking for fresh talent, nodding furiously towards to their careers page.
