Capcom lost ¥4.5 billion on projects cancelled at its Vancouver studio, equivalent to $40 million.

The problems at Capcom Vancouver surfaced in February this year, when a rumoured 50 people were laid off as the Japanese publisher restructured its workload.

Today, Capcom has put a hard number on the cost of that restructuring: a ¥4.5 billion ($40.2 million) loss that will be recorded under cost of sales in its Q2 fiscal report.

Despite this significant hit, however, the company has not adjusted its financial outlook. The strong performance of Monster Hunter: World means that Capcom will still hit its targets for the first half of the fiscal year.

Remember Deep Down?
That was the only thing that popped up in my head when I read the title.
