Funcom To Cut Staff, The Secret World Delayed

2
Age Of Conan developer Funcom will reportedly cut 20 per cent of its workforce and delay the release of its new PC and Xbox 360 MMO, The Secret World, by several months.

The news was revealed in a stock exchange announcement on Tuesday, according to a Google translation of an E24 report. The site said that the Norwegian developer's stock fell 18 per cent following the announcement.

Founded in 1993, Funcom currently employs over 320 staff across its offices in Norway, the US, China, and Switzerland. It has developed over 20 titles but is perhaps best known for its MMO Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, which shipped over 1.2 million copies to retail in 2008.

I know Age of Conan kind of failed, but The Secret World sounds so interesting with all myths/urban ledgends being real - and the teaser trailers are amazing!

Funcom needs to shut the doors. With excellent games like Aion releasing, there is not much room for scrubs and letdowns. AoC was the biggest disappointment.
