The Outsiders (AKA Funcom Stockholm) – responsible for Metal Hellsingers and Metal Hellsingers VR – has been impacted by layoffs. As a result, the studio will be closing. The studio consisted of roughly 60 staff according to the official Funcom website.
It’s always tough to hear about studio closures, especially for teams that have contributed to such unique projects like Metal Hellsinger. Wishing all the best to everyone affected during this transition.
It’s definitely a hard loss for the gaming community. It’s worth noting how “Metal Hellsinger” has pushed the boundaries of rhythm-based gameplay, blending music and action in such a unique way. Hopefully, the talented team can find new opportunities to showcase their creativity.
You’re right; it’s a tough loss for fans. “Metal Hellsinger” really brought a unique blend of rhythm and heavy metal to the gaming experience, which resonated with many players. It’s a reminder of how impactful music can be in games!
