Gods and Heroes Cancelled. Star Trek Online to Get Attention.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears...
Loyal and faithful community members and Beta testers, thank you for your support, help, and understanding during the Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising development process.
The development team established some very lofty and ambitious goals when the initial work was started on Gods & Heroes.
Recently, we took a step back to evaluate the competitive landscape,
the game's current state, and the overall goals for our organization.
And while we are truly proud of and pleased with what we have created
in Gods & Heroes, we also realize that achieving the level of quality and polish that we are committed to will take a significant investment.
The Perpetual team is faced with a unique challenge of simultaneously developing both Gods & Heroes and Star Trek Online
in addition to growing our Online Game Platform business. After
assessing all of Perpetual's opportunities, we have made the decision
to put the development of Gods & Heroes on indefinite hold.
I want to express my overwhelming gratitude to the community,
engineers, designers, artists, animators, and the game services team
for the support and effort that has gone into Gods & Heroes.
Moving forward, we're shifting our collective focus, resources and
development efforts to Perpetual's Platform Services division and Star Trek Online, thereby ensuring that the game lives up to the high level of expectation set by the dedicated Star Trek fan base.
Again, I would personally like to thank all of the Gods & Heroes
supporters who have been with us from the beginning. Hopefully, your
continued support will be as valuable to our future endeavors as it was
with Gods & Heroes..
Vade in pace,
Chris McKibbin
