Game Informer has received word from staff at Kabam that the publisher of mobile titles, including the recent Marvel: Contest of Champions, has laid off staff. The publisher has confirmed the news to Game Informer.

Kabam, which also publishes Fast & Furious 6: The Game, The Hunger Games, and The Lord of the Rings: Legends, recently announced acquisition of TapZen (This Means War) and Magic Pixel Games, which contributed to South Park: The Stick of Truth and PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale on Vita.

Those acquisitions brought the number of Kabam studios acquired since 2010 to nine.
