Responding to recent speculation, EA published an official statement about layoffs taking place throughout the company.

The note reads:

In recent weeks, EA has aligned all elements of its organizational structure behind priorities in new technologies and mobile. This has led to some difficult decisions to reduce the workforce in some locations. We are extremely grateful for the contributions made by each of our employees – those that are leaving EA will be missed by their colleagues and friends.

These are hard but essential changes as we focus on delivering great games and showing players around the world why to spend their time with us.

EA’s statement doesn’t give any indication as to how many staffers have been laid off. However, Kotaku’s sources say that as much as 10% of the workforce will now need to look for new jobs.

Other speculation has suggested that the EA Partners label will be shut down in the near future.
