Funcom to Restructure, Reduce Staff Following Game Development Milestones
Game developer Funcom, known for its work on Dune: Awakening, is undergoing a new restructuring phase and preparing for layoffs. The changes are attributed to the completion of the main development cycle for Dune: Awakening.
Game developer Funcom has announced a new round of restructuring, which includes preparations for layoffs. The company's CEO, Rui Casais, is set to depart, with Scott Junior stepping into the leadership role.
The primary driver for this organizational shift is the conclusion of the main development phase for the game Dune: Awakening. Funcom stated that this milestone means the company can no longer sustain the staffing levels and organizational structure required during peak development.
Funcom will enter a period of organizational resizing. The company has committed to providing support for all affected employees, emphasizing a respectful and transparent approach throughout the process.
Despite the restructuring, Funcom affirmed its ongoing commitment to maintaining and supporting its existing titles, including Dune: Awakening and Conan Exiles.
