NCsoft\'s today to a single new label for their studios marks more than just a shift in management teams and consolidation of subsidiaries. It\'s also the first step in the company\'s decision to refocus their efforts on large, triple-A massively multiplayer games, David Reid, NC West president of publishing told Kotaku.
The details are as below:
\"This transition is really about ratifying a completely dedicated business to the triple-A titles,\" Reid said. \"We would consider ourselves in the class of five-ish companies in the world that can be successful in this market. We are a leader here and we are doubling down in those efforts.\"
\"If you are successful in this business, you are fabulously successful.\"
In so doing, NCsoft plans to shed some of their lighter fare, including \"moving away from\" Dungeon Runners, Reid said. He declined to say if that meant killing the free-to-play, humorous online game, saying only that there were no announcements about the game at this point.
Reid says that another important step in the company\'s strategy is their deal with Sony to create several online games for the Playstation 3.
\"You can expect us to be a big player in the console space,\" he said, pointing to Electronic Arts\' successful transition from a PC-only game publisher to a cross-platform company.
The move to Seattle itself, though, will have little impact on the day-to-day operations of the company and its subsidiaries, Reid said.
A total of 12 of the 250 to 260 positions in Austin are being cut to prepare for the move. NCsoft will continue to have a sizable presence in Austin, Reid said.
As if new races, worlds, cities, dungeons, mounts, and professions weren't enough, the expansion will also enhance the game with a wide number of small innovations that will add up to a significantly improved gaming experience. From the new Looking for Group feature to the updated Character Sheet to an incredible number of new enemy models, the game millions around the world are enjoying is about to become even better.
