Due to the recent staff cuts at The Secret World developer Funcom, the MMO’s second downloadable content pack has been delayed.
Issue 2: Digging Deeper was initially scheduled for a release tomorrow, but it’ll now launch on September 11.
“As you may know, this week has been a challenging one for everyone at Funcom,” said the developer in a statement. “We initiated a process of reducing costs after the launch of The Secret World and this has naturally affected the production schedule as we work on readjusting the team and our internal development processes. As such, we have had to give ourselves a little more time to wrap up Issue #2 and the new release date for this update is September 11th, 2012.”
“We appreciate your understanding and we apologize for the inconvenience. We are definitely eager to get this update out the door so that you guys can finally get your hands on that awesome rocket launcher.”
In addition to the rocket launcher, Digging Deeper will also deliver the plastic surgery and barbershop, new character customization options, as well as new action and investigation missions.
