Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has closed a Vancouver, B.C.-based game studio that was building games for its own N-Gage platform, and has eliminated about 100 jobs in the process, according to multiple reports. A Nokia spokesman told mocoNews that the closing of the Vancouver Games Development Studio is part of the company’s efforts to streamline its services strategy. As part of that decision, it merged its Media and Games units together and is relocating Nokia’s Games Publishing efforts to Espoo, Finland.
While the spokesman would not confirm specifics of the closure, Develop reports that the office officially closed its doors on June 30, affecting 100 employees. The studio previously worked on titles for the first and second generation N-Gage systems and worked on such franchises as Call of Duty, Tiger Woods and Tony Hawk.
