Earlier this week Trion Worlds announced that San Diego game studio was shut down and all the resources were shifted to Redwood City Studio. Now they just confirmed that they are closing the EU publishing office as well.
gamigo confirmed that it has acquired major assets from Trion Worlds, known for online and console MMO games such as Rift, Defiance, Trove and ArcheAge.
The gaming industry, like any industry really, is a cruel mistress. We witness this cold reality yet again when we see the studio Trion Worlds, which was behind Rift, Trove and Archeage, having to cut over 150 workers today.
An ArcheAge producer letter shared on the MMO's forums seeks to calm the nerves of fans after a wave of layoffs at Trion Worlds.
