![]() However, it must be qualified by the numerous dismissals and departures of the past years, which will undoubtedly have weakened the studio's positions at least to a minimum. A news that will undoubtedly warm the hearts of WoW players a little bit, suspecting a trick in the fact that the ninth expansion is scheduled for less than six months. ![]() Certainly far from the Battle Royale genre, it is on the Dragonflight extension of World of Warcraft that the 100 developers of Proletariat will be allocated in order to strengthen the already very substantial team working on the MMORPG reigning supreme in the genre since 2004.Īccording to our colleagues at VentureBeat, this would even be the largest acquisition ever orchestrated by Blizzard Entertainment for at least a decade in order to expand the capabilities of its development studio. But it was in its ability to combine the two chosen elements that Spellbreak shone above all: it was possible to create colossal reactions when two spells of two different elements collided, creating cataclysms and explosions of all kinds.Īn explosive cocktail which unfortunately will not have attracted enough players in the long term, forcing the studio to close the doors of its little gem and to sign on the side of Activision Blizzard for the continuation of its evolution.īut Blizzard does not seem to have the intention of letting these fans of magic and explosions go on projects far from their area of expertise. You could cast powerful Poison and Fire spells to burn and poison your enemies, or master Frost and Lightning to freeze and paralyze your opponents. The player embodied a battle mage who had the ability to master two elements out of six available. If the heart of this style of play remained (being the only survivor of an arena where dozens of players fight to the death), it is the arsenal and the combinations available to the players that will have fueled the greed of "millions of players" as soon as it is announced. We all hope that acquiring this studio brings fresh ideas to what we hope is Activision Blizzard’s redemption.Originally revealed in 2018, Spellbreak was (and still is until 2023) a Battle Royale type game that will have stood out from the competition with its original and innovative gameplay. All of that combined with the latest backlash towards Diablo Immortal. It has been a couple of rocky months for Activision Blizzard. These developers will direct their experience towards a game that really needs improvement. ![]() Putting more people there now that we know about Spellbreak shutting down is good. This is something good because we already know that the expansion will release this year, as we can see on the pre-order website. This with the goal of putting more work into World of Warcraft’s upcoming expansion: Dragonflight. However, there is a silver lining to all of this.Īctivision Blizzard announced that they will be buying the studio that created Spellbreak. It is sad to see a game go, but it is even more heartbreaking to think about the developers who worked on that game. While the goal was the same, this game has its own gimmicks, and they were fun. It comes as a surprise to hear about Spellbreak shutting down. However, every battle royale has different gimmicks. You or your team need to be the last one standing. Maybe not too fresh because the goals are the same. Recently we saw the release of Vampire the Mascarade – Bloodhunt, which we can say was a fresh take on the whole genre. It has become common to see new battle royales every day. ![]() Spellbreak Will Shut Down Its Servers in Early 2023 And now it’s sad to hear Spellbreak is shutting down in 2023. The style of the game was also good and caught many people’s attention. Players had gauntlets instead of weapons, and each gauntlet had different spells. It was a battle royale, yes, but the concept was fresh. When Spellbreak launched back in 2018, the game showed promise. While the battle royale market is still dominated by Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone, this announcement was unexpected. Spellbreak shutting down came as quite a surprise for everyone. The wizard royale launched in 2018 and is closing its doors next year.
