Funcom has named The Secret World‘s game director Joel Bylos the head of a new centralized live team in North Carolina. The studio is designed to help provide both content and support for its lineup of MMO titles.
“Having one centralized live team responsible for both the health and the future of each online game means there will always be fresh ideas, years of design know-how and invaluable skill with our tools flow freely between each project,” said Bylos. “I am very excited to have been given the opportunity to lead this team going forward and we have already started mapping out a very exciting future for Anarchy Online, The Secret World and Age of Conan. Stay tuned, great things are coming!”
Funcom has undergone some major restructuring lately after announcing that The Secret World was moving away from a subscription-only model. Along with appointing Bylos director of The Secret World, the company has scaled back its Bejing and Montreal studios.
