Thanks to the layoffs at Funcom due to the tepid release figures of The Secret World, the second update “Digging Deeper” has been delayed from the 28th August to the 11th September.
The publisher was frank about the reasons behind the delay. In a statement, it admitted, ”As you may know, this week has been a challenging one for everyone at Funcom. We initiated a process of reducing costs after the launch of The Secret World and this has naturally affected the production schedule as we work on readjusting the team and our internal development processes.”
The Secret World is a modern day occult/conspiracy MMO that was launched on the 19th June. Strategy Informer awarded the game an 8.0/10 score in its review.
