TERA’s console versions are coming in the first half of 2018

[AL:TERA]In the works since its conception in 2013, TERA’s console version is finally coming to North America and Europe in the first half of 2018. En Masse published a video in which the studio said that the game was a great fit for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and obviously it hopes that it will find success on these systems.

The studio admitted that the idea of porting the action MMO to consoles took a while to gain traction in both the developer and publisher. The older consoles didn’t have enough hardware to run it properly, for starters, and handling the free-to-play model would have been more difficult a few years ago because of where Microsoft and Sony were at. Finally, Bluehole said that Korea’s relative inexperience with developing for consoles made it difficult to form a team to create the port.

En Masse said that specific beta and release dates for the console edition will be forthcoming.
