Again in March 2023, the Aurory staff showcased its first sport, 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 staff, head of manufacturing Jonathan Campeau lately took to platform X to announce the upcoming closing of Aurory Techniques.
Whereas the developer has recognized for a very long time that dishonest and glued matchmaking is happening inside the sport, its preventative measures haven’t been enough to cease it. This has led the staff to ban the sport amongst giant IP addresses and full international locations.
Nevertheless, 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 staff has discovered itself able of getting to resolve which sport to proceed with, as balancing the 2 and operating stay ops for each, isn’t sustainable.
This implies Aurory Techniques will likely be shut down, and Campeau explains will probably be achieved in two phases. The primary and speedy measure is to cease all rewarded battles within the sport, which can finish Monday 4th March. This will likely be adopted by the halt of rewards distribution on Tuesday fifth March.
The following part, 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 is going to shut down, though the staff stay taken with rebooting the sport in a model 2 kind, maybe in 2025.
