Betawatch: TitanReach suspends development

    
1
Nope!

Exeunt TitanReach, pursued by former backers angry that the game is no more. The studio behind the game announced this week that development was being suspended due to a lack of funds, meaning that the packages sold since the game’s early access began weren’t enough to sustain ongoing development. That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible for the situation to change, but given the past history of crowdfunded games in these situations, it’s pretty unlikely.

Other beta news just below:

And now, I leave you for the time with the same words of wisdom my grandfather left for me: You can let us know if something skipped test phases in the comments, as our full list of games in testing is just below. My grandfather was kind of an odd guy sometimes, but this became surprisingly useful later in my life.

As always, we consider an MMO to be in open testing if it features free, public signups and will server wipe prior to launch. An MMO is marked in closed testing if it’s running a private test phase that cannot freely be accessed by the general public; it’s usually under NDA as well. Early access and crowdfunded MMOs whose tests we deem legitimate will be included. So-called “open beta” soft-launch MMOs with cash shops, no sign of launch in the west, or limited interest for our readers will not be listed; we also do not list expansions, with occasional exceptions.
