Again in March 2023, the Aurory crew showcased its first recreation, turn-based battler Aurory Ways at GDC. Since then, it’s been a busy 12 months of rolling out new options, cross-chain integration, and titles all a part of the broader Aurory ecosystem, most prominently its RPG Seekers of Tokane.
Certainly, the event of each Ways and Seekers of Tokane has been so overwhelming to the crew, head of manufacturing Jonathan Campeau lately took to platform X to announce the upcoming closing of Aurory Ways.
Whereas the developer has identified for a very long time that dishonest and glued matchmaking is happening throughout the recreation, its preventative measures haven’t been ample to cease it. This has led the crew to ban the sport amongst massive IP addresses and whole nations.
Nonetheless, that’s now affecting the expansion of the studio’s newly launched Seekers of Tokane, which may’t be performed by customers in these nations. So the crew has discovered itself ready of getting to determine which recreation to proceed with, as balancing the 2 and working stay ops for each, will not be sustainable.
This implies Aurory Ways will likely be shut down, and Campeau explains will probably be performed in two phases. The primary and quick measure is to cease all rewarded battles within the recreation, which is able to finish Monday 4th March. This will likely be adopted by the halt of rewards distribution on Tuesday fifth March.
The following section, which is able to run till the top of the present Aurory Ways season on thirtieth April, is the ultimate sunsetting of the title after which it is going to shut down, though the crew stay curious about rebooting the sport in a model 2 kind, maybe in 2025.
