In final review, we had to face the fact that EverQuest Next would not meet the expectations we – and all of you – have for the worlds of Norrath. We know you have high standards when it comes to Norrath and we do too. Unfortunately, as we put together the pieces, we found that it wasn’t fun. In the case of EverQuest Next, we accomplished incredible feats that astonished industry insiders. Inherent to the creative process are dreaming big, pushing hard and being brutally honest with where you land. We set out to make something revolutionary.įor those familiar with the internals of game development, you know that cancellations are a reality we must face from time to time. When we decided to create the next chapter in the EverQuest journey, we didn’t aim low. It’s shaped our culture and has emboldened us to take aggressive risks with our game ideas and products. Watching EverQuest’s ability to entertain and bring people together has inspired and humbled us.
What started as a deep passion of ours, as game creators, grew into a much larger passion shared by you, millions of players and Daybreakers alike. I’m writing today to let you know that, after much review and consideration, Daybreak is discontinuing development of EverQuest Next.įor the past 20 years EverQuest has been a labor of love. Here's the message, and a bit of information on Landmark: This announcement comes to us from Russ Shanks, the president of Daybreak Games, who simply states that EverQuest Next was just not very fun. First Lionhead Studios and the upcoming Fable Legends got scrapped, and now EverQuest Next is, ironically, the next big and beloved franchise to slowly fade away. This month has undoubtedly spawned a few more cynics in to the world, and we aren't even half way through it yet.
