Dragons are known to be secretive about their plans, but one has escaped from the realm of Istaria: The MMO will be getting a graphics engine update this year.
“An exciting goal, that many will be interested in, is the upgrade of the graphics engine to use Unreal,” the team posted last month. “That’s an epic project, but a number of important pieces are in place to make that happen.”
Istaria is also kicking off 2016 with a “facility refresh” of brand-new hardware for better game performance and easier development. “There’s nothing like starting 2016 with new 12 core processors, lots of RAM, and some shiny new switches,” the team gushed.
