So it was a complete surprise to most industry watchers, including us, when EA-owned studio Respawn Entertainment dropped the free to play Battle Royale Apex Legends on February 4, 2019. A few smaller titles tried to enter the fray, games like Realm Royale launched with strong numbers but quickly fizzled. With so much hype around Fortnite and PUBG, it was easy to assume the 2-year old genre had already peaked. Its success was quickly followed by Fortnite which grew so fast that it transcended the video gaming industry and became a cultural phenomena, not unlike Pokemon in the early 1990s. When PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) launched in 2017 it catapulted the niche Battle Royale genre into the mainstream. ArenaNet even revived the original Guild Wars support website. ArenaNet made a statement earlier this week pledging to support their previous title, Guild Wars, for years to come as well. NCSoft will also be combining ArenaNet's publishing activities with those of NCSoft West, consolidating those back-end operations.Ī post on the official Guild Wars 2 forums reassured players that the game was still being supported with Season 5 on its way.

Guild Wars 2 revenues have stalled, with rumors that there is no major expansion planned for 2019.

The layoffs are likely due to stalling revenue across NCSoft's PC lineup, and ArenaNet's inability to finish several projects which have been under development for a number of years. Leaks of a massive round of layoffs at ArenaNet were leaked on February 20th and were confirmed by NCSoft which owns ArenaNet, on February 21st. I wish everyone who was involved in the making of the game good luck and health in the future.The 2019 Industry bloodletting continues. I'm going to use my alt character to walk around Meiville (the first city) until the game ends in 11 days. I'll be logging in every day to say hi in all (global) chat. I'm glad that I bought the game for $20 when it was on holiday sale. There are too many things that I like about the game for me to list. The developers created some ideas for an online game.

The whole idea about atra energy and starcallers is interesting. This game also got me interested in astronomy again. Astellia Online made me become interested in the Korean language and Korean culture. I liked seeing Korean text in the global chat. I like the banter between Rota, Piceis and Lira. I like how the astels are part of the story. The weapons and armor have great designs. The graphics are bright even though they are a bit muddy. This game helped me ease my recovery period. I had major surgery a few years before the game arrived. The music, sound effects, artists, voice actors and long story plot all make Astellia a joy to play. Edit: I forgot to mention, thank you developers for your hard work making this game.
