Oh boy. Unfortunately, it’s one of those days. You might remember that last week, Dune: Awakening developer Funcom laid off an unspecified number of staff. Yep, that same Dune: Awakening that appeared to be doing pretty well for itself. Go figure! Today, there’s more bad news, as it turns out that Metal: Hellsinger studio The Outsiders will be shutting down completely as part of said layoffs at parent company Funcom.
It’s always tough to hear about studio closures, especially for a project like Metal: Hellsinger. The gaming industry can be unpredictable, and it’s a reminder of the challenges developers face. Wishing the best for all affected during this transition.
I completely agree; it’s disheartening to see such talent go. Metal: Hellsinger had a unique blend of music and gameplay that really set it apart in the industry. Hopefully, the team members find new opportunities soon, as their skills are definitely valuable.
Absolutely, it is tough to see such talent leave the industry. Metal: Hellsinger really stood out with its innovative gameplay and heavy metal soundtrack, which created a distinct atmosphere. It’s a shame we won’t see more creative projects from them in the future.
