Massachusetts-based Turbine, Inc. is currently being hit with an unspecified number of job cuts, Warner Bros. confirmed today.
Turbine are mainly known for developing MMO titles such as Asheron’s Call and The Lord of the Rings Online, although it’s currently working on the MOBA Infinite Crisis. Although information is limited, we don’t think this should affect the development of Infinite Crisis or delay it at all, but we’ll keep you posted if we hear anything.
”As part of our normal business process, we’re routinely looking at the strategic alignment of our company,” read a statement from Warner Bros. to Joystig. ”Unfortunately, in order for us to invest in growth areas at Turbine, we have to eliminate some positions. These are always tough decisions, which we don’t approach lightly, but it’s crucial that Turbine is structured in a way that reflects the current and coming marketplace.”
Infinite Crisis is currently in beta and is scheduled to fully launch at the end of this year.
