Funcom Looks Forward To Secret World Amid Q3 Losses
Funcom said Tuesday its sales fell 68.5 percent during the fiscal third quarter, as earnings for the Age of Conan studio swung to a loss compared to the same quarter a year ago.
The Norwegian-headquartered company attributed the lower revenues to a tough comparison to Q3 2008, when the PC MMORPG Age of Conan launched. Age of Conan subscriptions are currently Funcom’s main source of revenue.
Funcom has also revealed the upcoming MMORPG The Secret World, which the studio claims is “tracking better than Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Aion and others at similar stage of development.” There are currently 90 people working on the project, Funcom said.
