Following the March announcement that Notorious Studios would sunset the mini-MMO Eldegarde due to insufficient long-term success, CEO Chris Kaleiki has revealed plans to bring the title back online. The developer intends to revive the game and its intellectual property with a new focus.
The core strategy for this revival involves transitioning to a peer-to-peer server model. Kaleiki stated that the team aims to launch at least a private beta for the community within the next few months, provided that development proceeds according to plan.
Despite these plans, the process is currently taking a while without a specific timeline. To manage the project with a smaller team, Notorious Studios will utilize AI tools for development. Kaleiki noted that this shift allows the studio to move away from a breakout-or-bust mentality, enabling them to grow the game gradually.
While further details are expected at a later date, the potential return offers a glimmer of hope for players who previously enjoyed the experience. The studio remains committed to the project's future, though the exact timing for a full release remains uncertain.
