Dune: Awakening developer Funcom has announced it's laying off staff today as part of a restructuring process across the studio, with an undisclosed number of staff losing their jobs.
In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, the Norway-based developer stated it's laying off staff as part of a restructuring effort towards: "releasing new content, features, and enhancements."
Dune: Awakening, as mentioned both in the statement and widely reported, was a massive success for Funcom.
In recent months, the game is floating around roughly 20,000 concurrent daily players.
Funcom, a studio with ample history in both the MMO and survival game genres, had plans to continue supporting the game post-launch and recently rolled out its first major free update to the game.
