The Secret World studio focusing on smaller games

Funcom will concentrate on making smaller online games after disappointing sales for The Secret World.

The studio claimed that just 200,000 copies of the game had been sold in the two months since it launched.

A financial statement explained the shift in focus: "The company will concentrate its new development on more focused, systems-driven games that have a high degree of community and player interaction.

"These games require less time and development cost to bring to market."

Funcom recently announced that about 50% of staff would have to be laid off due to cost cutting measures.
