Funcom was founded 32 years ago, in 1993. 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. We’ve made over 25 games, from pixel platformers to more recent titles such as The Longest Journey, Conan Exiles, and Secret World Legends. With Dune: Awakening, we are weaving together Open World Survival and MMO elements into a Dune tapestry that brings Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece to life in a completely unique way. Today, over 500 people from more than 40 different nationalities work and play at Funcom across our 5 studios in Oslo, Norway; Lisbon, Portugal; Durham, North Carolina; Stockholm, Sweden; and Bucharest, Romania.
