38 Studios team dismissed, EA still has plans for Project Copernicus

The entire staff at 38 Studios (Kingdoms of Amalur) have been let go due to recent financial troubles and struggling to pay off loans.

Despite selling an impressive 1.2 million copies, the game reportedly  needed to sell roughly 3 million units to pay off the debts.

The recently announced MMO based on the franchise (Project Copernicus) is still set for release, as EA still seems to have plans for the franchise.

The game industry as a whole seems to be rallying around the hundreds of now unemployed workers, some of whom have already been hired by other companies.

We’d also like to offer our condolences and wish the whole team the best of luck.

    Really? In what way is EA involved with Copernicus? Are they looking at picking up the IP?

    • Achea Shadow

      EA published Kingdoms of Amalur, Copernicus is a sequel to Amalur.

    Fantastic blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?

    I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid

    option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Kudos!
