Again in March 2023, the Aurory group showcased its first recreation, turn-based battler Aurory Techniques at GDC. Since then, it’s been a busy yr 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 Techniques and Seekers of Tokane has been so overwhelming to the group, head of manufacturing Jonathan Campeau not too long ago took to platform X to announce the upcoming closing of Aurory Techniques.
Whereas the developer has identified for a very long time that dishonest and glued matchmaking is going down throughout the recreation, its preventative measures haven’t been ample to cease it. This has led the group to ban the sport amongst massive IP addresses and full international locations.
Nonetheless, that’s now affecting the expansion of the studio’s newly launched Seekers of Tokane, which might’t be performed by customers in these international locations. So the group has discovered itself able of getting to determine which recreation to proceed with, as balancing the 2 and working dwell ops for each, is just not sustainable.
This implies Aurory Techniques will likely be shut down, and Campeau explains will probably be carried out in two phases. The primary and rapid measure is to cease all rewarded battles within the recreation, which can finish Monday 4th March. This will likely be adopted by the halt of rewards distribution on Tuesday fifth March.
The following section, which can run till the tip of the present Aurory Techniques season on thirtieth April, is the ultimate sunsetting of the title after which it should shut down, though the group stay keen on rebooting the sport in a model 2 type, maybe in 2025.
