Smilegate RPG doesn’t have anything to do with this announcement. It’s all Amazon.
Most likely delaying Lost Ark due to upcoming New World launch.
110%
How can a game thats already been out for YEARS require a delay? Surely once it’s been translated and servers created, it’s done? 3-6 months tops. This screams politics
They need the time to change the skin tone of some NPCs because they were too white. (and no it’s not a joke)
Source?
you can tell this is a non-western game simply by the b00bz. western feminist devs wouldn’t dare to show them off
Kinda worried about another amazon beta after the New World was bricking video cards. I wont trust amazon with my hardware.
Amazon’s only publishing in the west so their lumberyard-GPU-frying-garbage technology isn’t involved.
Did they actually figure out what was doing it? I haven’t kept up on it, last I heard the one billon fps in the title screen was the theory, something that amazon is caple of adding during translation.
Not available in my country so I think I will stick with New World.
