A
hopefully untemporary message on the Ballerium forums follows-up on the
suspension of Ballerium (
story and
story),
Marjorem's upcoming MMORTS, announcing that Interplay has stepped up to finance
the project, in spite of the publisher's own well publicized financial woes
(
story). Here's the deal:
Two months less three days ago,
Majorem made a "Hopefully Temporary" announcement with regards to the future of
Ballerium.
It was said that Ballerium's development will cease until further funding is
found.
Today Majorem is pleased to announce that our hopes meet reality, as Interplay
chose to make our previous announcement obsolete.
Dear followers, beta-testers, and gamers,
I'm proud to announce that thanks to Interplay, who brought us great titles such
as "Baldur's Gate" and "Fallout", Majorem will now be able to launch Ballerium
this summer.
Ballerium, a massively multiplayer strategy game has been on a closed beta for
about a year, when funds run out and the company had to freeze its R&D. Now that
further financing is reassured thanks to Interplay, Ballerium can be finalized
and prepared for release.
