Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara has released a memo to employees that the company will start laying off employees this week, according to GameInformer. No specific group was mentioned, but that "most business groups" will be affected.

"These are difficult decisions, and we don’t take them lightly," said Tsujihara in the memo. "We examined every aspect of our businesses to ensure that we were restructuring in a way that would allow us to minimize the impact on our employees, while continuing to adapt to the changing global marketplace."

The layoffs will continue through the first quarter of 2015. International branches of Warner Bros. will also be affected, however those layoffs will not be known until next year.

Last month developer Turbine, known for developing Infinite Crisis, was hit with layoffs. Though the total number of people laid off is not known.
