Again in March 2023, the Aurory staff showcased its first recreation, turn-based battler Aurory Techniques 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 Techniques and Seekers of Tokane has been so overwhelming to the staff, head of manufacturing Jonathan Campeau not too long ago took to platform X to announce the approaching closing of Aurory Techniques.
Whereas the developer has recognized for a very long time that dishonest and glued matchmaking is going down inside the recreation, its preventative measures haven’t been ample 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 determine which recreation to proceed with, as balancing the 2 and operating reside ops for each, is just not sustainable.
This implies Aurory Techniques might be shut down, and Campeau explains will probably be completed in two phases. The primary and fast measure is to cease all rewarded battles within the recreation, which is able to finish Monday 4th March. This might 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 Techniques season on thirtieth April, is the ultimate sunsetting of the title after which it is going to shut down, though the staff stay excited by rebooting the sport in a model 2 kind, maybe in 2025.
