NCsoft Austin to be shut down with Tabula Rasa

[Mr. Hrm]

According to our sources, any or all of the following may be in the works:

• NCsoft Austin will be closed, with work on Tabula Rasa and Dungeon Runners to be moved to the Bay Area or LA. Los Angeles is home to the still-in-the-dark Carbine Studios effort, while the San Francisco area is home to the City of Heroes development team. Seattle, of course, plays host to Arena.net.
• This shakeup is only affecting Austin; the City of Heroes and Guild Wars teams are unaffected, as are the teams based out of the Korean offices.
• Future collaborations between NCsoft and the Garriott brothers will be very limited in scope, a sign of the frustrations between the Korean executives and the sibling-lead NCsoft North American office.
• Tabula Rasa may see closure by this time next year, if the (possibly newly placed) team fails to turn the tide of subscribers and expectations.
