Massively reports that the loss of 21 jobs at NCsoft Austin has now been confirmed by David Swofford, director of public relations for NCsoft North America.

“We are announcing that 21 positions are being eliminated in the Austin office of NCsoft in the area of product development. Primarily this is related to products which we have not previously announced and were in prototype phases. We are also cutting some positions on the Dungeon Runners team after deciding not to port the client to other platforms at this time,” explained Swofford.

Massively also confirmed that 13 of the 18 Dungeon Runners staff have lost their jobs, with producer Stephen Nichols noting that the team is in “shock”.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Tabula Rasa, which, despite seeing an upturn in sales, continues to struggle.
