Mortal Online 2 Studio Announces New Sci-Fi Survival MMO Called Mortal Exodus
It’s only been a year or so since Mortal Online 2 made the jump to full release but its developer Star Vault is already looking to release a spinoff of sorts for the survival MMO called Mortal Exodus. As the title suggests, the game will send players off to new adventures as they leave the surface of the planet to explore the farthest reaches of space.
“We must leave the mud, and reach for the stars,” teased Star Vault in the official announcement video. The game will apparently use the same technology and systems as Mortal Online 2 but in a different setting.
As one might expect, the community didn’t take too well to the news that the studio is working on another game while it’s still actively working to iron out the kinks and add new gameplay systems and content in Mortal Online 2. The team, however, has assured the community that a different team will be working on the spinoff and that it will in no way impact the development of Mortal Online 2.
“100% of the Mortal Online 2 dev team is focused on Territory Control and fixing bugs currently, and we are looking to further expand the team in bottleneck areas,” maintained Star Vault founder and CEO Henrik Nystrom.
Star Vault also added that the goal of Mortal Exodus is to generate additional revenue as part of its goal to obtain more resources for Mortal Online 2. “Mortal Exodus is a long term project for the future, that will help the development of MO2,” said the studio. “Mortal Online 2 is the most important focus of Star Vault and we are spending all our resources and focus on making sure we can deliver TC in a balanced and stable way.”
“The next big milestone for MO2 is the UE5 transition and Epic Games Store release, which also includes populating Myrland with more AI, PoIs, an improved new player experience, lots of polish, new player recruitment (guild noticeboards) and an improved standing and criminal system,” the studio concluded.
