Maybe im reading too much into this… and its only my first results: World's Edge
“”The new World’s Edge studio will be in charge of the direction, guidance, innovation and general care of the series. Also they showed a trailer on the progress of [Age of Empires IV] developed by Canadian studio [Relic Entertainment “”
I kept seeing people ping or call out relic”, but it seems relic may have lost the reigns” back in 2020? Relic developed and was at the table for most of it. But im thinking worlds edge took over at some point…
And with the infant company worlds edge seems they are still maybe learning to walk? I was trying to find if they are having any employement issues, or financial, or any other telltale signs of whats going on behind the curtain
Although https://today.in-24.com/News/amp/540332 many talk about xbox console getting aoe4 they havent said “”yes”” yet. And it kinda goes against what i felt loftis was trying to do -revive pc side of gaming “” The original Age of Empires helped demonstrate Microsoft’s ambitions in PC games, but the company’s commitment to the medium has wavered over the decades. Now, though, it’s reinvesting in the hope of attracting a population of gamers that exceeds that of consoles.”””
If your not reading the links… and still dont believe what im saying, then your just a villager trying to fight a boar do the reading, and help me find answers, correct me when im wrong.
Back in july this original post seems to of noticed something in the op.
When i handed over my business to another person, my baby i created, i still had to walk with” the new owners for quite a while before they could really take over even though they were the new owners. Customers wouldn’t take to the transition very well if a new face just shows up at their door and no clue as to what happened or who this new person is. Plus as it was my baby I still wouldn’t want the business to fail because my name is still attached to it in someways and reputation. I think this is very similar to what happened between relic and worlds edge. But I can’t find any information as to this transition and or how smooth it went . I am imagining they are running around like chickens with their heads cut off I have seen this literal in real life.
I wouldn’t doubt if a Dev will jump in at some point to clarify any of this and though I may be wrong this all seems very legit at face value from a couple resources in a five minute Google search.
As it was explained to me, by some management about the roles of each company, my original thinking was skued. It’s okay to be wrong. But as they explained
“General care” by worlds edge, is the broad vision and direction for the game. Relic fills in the details, and does the grunt work still. Though that does still leave alot of questions as to what’s happening behind the scenes…
