Auran Shuts Doors, Staff Laid Off

Following previous reports that Australian developer Auran would be slimming down its in-house operation and outsourcing work to China, new reports indicate that the company has now entered administration.

All staff members have been released, but will be paid for all work to-date, and for holiday entitlement, redundancy payments and long-service leave, according to a GameSpot news report.

Its MMO Fury will continue to operate, and a new expansion called Age of the Chosen is still set to launch as planned on Friday, featuring a long list of updates and improvements to the game.
