City of Heroes News - Breaking: Layoffs Hit Paragon Studios
Posted by Michael Bitton on Oct 07, 2010 | 72 comments in our forums
According to an anonymous source, City of Heroes/Villains developer Paragon Studios has been hit with a round of layoffs today, totaling nine people, and also possibly including Senior Animator/VFX Lead Christopher "Back Alley Brawler" Bruce.
We have contacted NCsoft who has confirmed that layoffs have indeed taken place, and they have provided us with the following comment:
"In an effort to put a greater focus on the City of Heroes franchise, Paragon Studios is shifting resources within the studio. In order to optimize the refocus, there has been a reduction in force that has impacted a small amount of people. Paragon Studios is an integral part of the NCsoft West family and will continue to prosper, delivering the world’s most popular superpowered hero MMO game, City of Heroes, to fans around the world.
