Where most “themepark” MMOs tend to cover all bases by including PvE, PvP, raids, crafting and everything else in between, CSE and ArtCraft cannot do this they have neither the budgets nor the manpower. The studios behind these projects - City State Entertainment and ArtCraft Entertainment, respectively - are disposing of many tried and tested traditions, carving their own path in the hopes of finding new and fertile ground. The two most notable examples are Camelot Unchained and Crowfall. There is light at the end of the tunnel, however, and it's in games that focus on one aspect of the genre, aiming to innovate or perfect it rather than being a jack of all trades. Swathes of publishers and developers who might once have been interested in creating or releasing an MMO have placed a red cross on the genre’s door as a no-go zone. The end result, in many cases, saw bloated products with little focus and with implementation of ideas and mechanics too poor to justify the price tag or subscription fee. While some of the blame inevitably falls at the feet of publishers pushing products out the door too early (notably WildStar and Warhammer Online), most simply promised too much and delivered too little.
With a lengthy list of massively multiplayer casualties over the last few years, including Warhammer Online, City of Heroes, World of Darkness and EverQuest Next, it’s fair to say the genre is in need of an intervention.īetween actual MMO failures and the lackluster success of some survivors, there’s a frightening level of consistency that connects them all. Even the resilient World of Warcraft, despite buoyant Legion sales, still isn’t willing to divulge subscription numbers a sign that things aren't eternally rosey. WildStar is barely scraping an income, Black Desert Online saw a strong start but petered out not long after launch and Guild Wars 2 continues to see a decline in revenues. While there’s still plenty of money to be made, the current crop are having a rough time.
Essentially, within this upcoming video game, the story revolves around a number of pantheon gods which have fallen in devotees causing them to be ripped from their planar realms and tossed into the world as living godkings.Massively multiplayer games are in a poor state. This particular title has an extensive lore background available for players to read through. Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is an upcoming video game by developers Visionary Realms. Originally, the title was featured within Kickstarter for a pledge goal of $800,000 and according to the official website for Crowfall, developers has managed to bring in over $10,000,000 in funding. While this is an ambitious title to offer gameplay similar to what players may find watching Game of Thrones, the developers are finding no trouble when it comes to backing support. Though, regardless if players opt to go through the world on their own, Crowfall will push for more player interactions. Developers ArtCraft is mixing elements of action-RPG and real-time strategy where players will seek out glory, wealth, and ultimately power.
