Trion Worlds relaunched End of Nation as a MOBA RTS game. The developers of End of Nations, Petroglyph Games originally planned to release an online strategy game, but in the end Trion Worlds took this project and promised to finish the development on their own. The result is a major change in the game concept turning it from a RTS game to a MOBA.
gamigo confirmed that it has acquired major assets from Trion Worlds, known for online and console MMO games such as Rift, Defiance, Trove and ArcheAge.
The gaming industry, like any industry really, is a cruel mistress. We witness this cold reality yet again when we see the studio Trion Worlds, which was behind Rift, Trove and Archeage, having to cut over 150 workers today.
An ArcheAge producer letter shared on the MMO's forums seeks to calm the nerves of fans after a wave of layoffs at Trion Worlds.
We had enough of MOBA game already. League Of Legends nuff said
I know quite a lot of people who will be very disappointed/angry/outraged/fu rious... not a single person I know will like this change. And I can't imagine there are any at all.
