Nintendo has confirmed the closure of its Großostheim location. The whole area will be shut down, including the warehouse, meaning there will be only one remaining premise in Germany.

A total of 130 employees will be affected by Nintendo’s decision. Some staffers will be moved to Frankfurt.

Here’s a rough translation of Nintendo’s statement:

Nintendo of Europe has started a consultation process with respect to several changes in its organizational structure. The long term goal of these changes is that they should allow the company to better adapt to a rapidly changing market. These changes include the merging of the two sites Frankfurt am Main and Großostheim – Frankfurt would then become the new European headquarters of the company – the closure of the warehouse and the office location Großostheim, as well as outsourcing and reorganization of other functional areas. The decision to give this change measures in the consultation process was not taken lightly. Rather are their comprehensive analysis and conscientious considerations based. Unfortunately, these measures have for some of the employees in Großostheim direct consequences, as around 130 permanent employees would lose their jobs.

We’ll update this post with any additional news that comes in.

About a year ago, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg shared a look at a brand new title. The project, which was said to be “very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games”, all but disappeared soon after.

Hörberg took to Twitter today and confirmed that his Zelda-inspired title has been cancelled. On the bright side though, he may have news to share about his actual next game in the coming days.
