Ascaron files for bankruptcy protection

By on April 21, 2009

Developer of Sacred Ascaron has filed for bankruptcy protection in the German courts.

The company said that 94 staff worked on Sacred 2, so I’m estimating the staff size at 100 for now. Pessimistically, I am not sure that the company is strong enough to emerge from bankruptcy protection, so I am adding all 100 employees to the Job Loss Tracker.
