Runewaker’s Guardians of Ember is getting a relaunch in the west thanks to Gameforge

3 comments

It’s been a weird 2018 for Guardians of Ember. Back in February, Valve booted its publisher, Insel Games, off Steam, citing review manipulation in regard to another of its games, Wild Buster. Wild Buster was heavily affected, such that Insel transferred its publishing rights and rebooted it with a new name to get it back on the platform this past spring.

So what happened to the MMOARPG Guardians of Ember, the Runewaker game that was actually pretty decent at what it did? It kept on running through the studio’s own website and the Humble Store, but now, it’s upping its profile with a move to European mega-publisher Gameforge.

“Gameforge — the leading western publisher of popular Asian free-to-play multiplayer online games like SoulWorker, Elsword and NosTale — today announced that it has acquired the publishing rights to Guardians of Ember, the popular Hack’n’Slash MMORPG from Taiwanese developer Runewaker — creators of Runes of Magic and Dragon’s Prophet. […] Guardians of Ember will officially re-launch later this year in North America and throughout Europe through Gameforge. Currently, the game is being operated by Insel Games in the west; Information regarding how existing Guardians of Ember players will migrate their accounts and game data will be shared soon.”

Peria Chronicles is not at G-Star, reportedly to save demo development time

One comment

If you’ve forgotten about Peria Chronicles, you can get a refresher in the game’s trailer from last year down below. And that’s more news than you’ll get about the game from Nexon at this year’s G-Star conference, as Peria Chronicles is conspicuously absent. For those of you who have been following the game, that’s going to be worrisome. Is it still coming? Is the game on track?

Steparu reports that the reason for the game’s absence is entirely down to a question of how long it takes to prepare a demo. The developers want to start moving into beta testing and the like this winter, which necessitates focusing less on making a demo and more on getting the game into a better state. Plausible? Sure, why not. But then, Nexon isn’t bringing a bunch of its in-progress games to the con; Astellia Online, Mabinogi Fantasy Life Mobile, Tree of Savior Mobile Remake, Elsword M Shadow of Luna, Durango Wild Lands, and the Final Fantasy XI Rebooot will all apparently be no-shows.
