Age of Conan and The Secret World developer Funcom have confirmed layoffs at the Norwegian studio.
“As we announced in the stock notice that went out on August 10th, Funcom is in the process of reducing operational costs and this process includes temporary layoffs as well as other initiatives,” reads a statement from the company. “As we are currently in the middle of this process we can not provide any further comment at the present time. Rest assured however that we have long-term plans for the company and that we remain fully committed to all of our games.”
Funcom hasn’t commented on reports suggesting 50-60 per cent of the firm has been affected.
Earlier this month the developer said it was implementing “cost adjustment initiatives”, blaming lower initial revenues from The Secret World.
