But German outfit hopeful on new contract and investment to keep company alive
Hannover-based studio Reakktor Media is on the brink of closure after insolvency proceedings began against the company.
The
Black Prophecy developer is still hopeful however on finding a new
investor or contract to keep the studio alive and its 50 employees in a
job.
"We have a team of 49 highly
talented and motivated people over here with qualifications which go far
beyond actual MMO technologies and mechanisms," Reakktor MD Kirk Lenke
told gamesindustry.biz.
"We
are in a position to accomplish basically anything what is played right
now, even if we were focused in recent times on multiplayer mobile
gaming.
“However, the MMO area is historically our organically
grown core competence. With Black Prophecy and Neocron we have been the
first in Germany who came up with a realtime action game in leading
technological quality in the multiplayer category."
Reakktor’s potential closure is unlikely to affect online play of the
developer’s free-to-play space combat MMO Black Prophecy, as the rights
to the game are held by publisher Gamigo.
