Another month, another round of MMORPG-related layoffs. This time the bad news comes courtesy of
Gameforge, a German browser MMO maker responsible for
Gates of Andaron as well as the upcoming
Star Trek: Infinite Space and the European version of
Wizard101.
Gamasutra reports that Gameforge is realigning its studio to the tune of
100 layoffs and the cancellation of at least two games, with
Hellbreed and
Mythos on the chopping block and
Star Trek: Infinite Space not far behind "if it cannot find a co-publisher." The company will do
away with its web- and client-based games divisions and restructure
itself around separate development and publishing arms.
The news comes on the heels of layoff announcements by
CCP,
NCsoft, and
GamersFirst last month.
