Again in March 2023, the Aurory crew showcased its first sport, 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 crew, 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 identified for a very long time that dishonest and stuck matchmaking is going down inside the sport, its preventative measures haven’t been ample to cease it. This has led the crew to ban the sport amongst giant IP addresses and whole 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 crew has discovered itself ready of getting to determine which sport to proceed with, as balancing the 2 and operating dwell ops for each, shouldn’t be sustainable.
This implies Aurory Techniques can be shut down, and Campeau explains it is going to be executed in two phases. The primary and instant measure is to cease all rewarded battles within the sport, which is able to finish Monday 4th March. This can be adopted by the halt of rewards distribution on Tuesday fifth March.
The subsequent 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’ll shut down, though the crew stay keen on rebooting the sport in a model 2 kind, maybe in 2025.
