Dune: Awakening developers Funcom have announced plans to lay off an unspecified number of workers, citing the same need to "restructure" that's essentially become a byword for games industry job cuts at this point.
"Unfortunately, this also means having to say goodbye to cherished colleagues," Funcom continued.
The statement from Funcom made sure to emphasise that Dune Awakening, the MMO their staff brought into into the world back in June, was "the biggest release we’ve had in our 32-year long history" and "has already shown incredible potential".
Despite running into some glitches, our Brendy wrote the following of Dune Awakening in his review:Awakening is dense with lore, and loyal to the childlike 'sand is lava' flavours of Dune.
Our best to the Funcom staff affected by these layoffs.
