We've been making games for over 25 years. We were there in the early nineties, guns for hire making games for the big studios to fund our own crazy ideas. We were there in the early days of the massively multiplayer online games, breaking new ground and pioneering features and business models that are commonplace today.
Today, over 135 people from more than 20 different nationalities work and play at Funcom across our two studios in Oslo, Norway and Durham, North Carolina. We want Funcom to be a game developer where creative people can come together and leave a mark on the industry. We might not always get it right, but we always do it with passion and the desire to create something special and unique.
The team has grown and the studio has changed over the years, but we have always remained true to what drives us:
Make great games and have a damn good time doing it.
