The Settlers Online enters a new era under the command of CipSoft
The legendary The Settlers Online, a classic browser game, has just entered a new phase. The CipSoft, the developer behind the iconic Tibia, has officially announced that they have taken over the operations and development of the game, which was previously under the command of Ubisoft and Blue Byte. Now, the creators of one of the longest-running MMOs in the world promise to revitalize the game and bring new features to the loyal community.
What changes with CipSoft's arrival?
The transition does not mean that CipSoft has acquired the The Settlers brand, which still belongs to Ubisoft. However, the new administrator will have full control over The Settlers Online, including maintenance, development of new content, and community support.
In the official statement, CipSoft stated that they have already formed a dedicated team for the game and that an account migration process will begin soon. Additionally, the company is building a new infrastructure to ensure the longevity of the game and improve the players' experience.
Remembering the classic
Initially launched in 2010 in some countries and globally in 2011, The Settlers Online is a real-time strategy game in which players build and expand their own cities, manage resources, and face strategic challenges. The game was designed to run directly in browsers, making it accessible to a wide audience.
With this change in command, the expectation is that new updates and improvements will be implemented, expanding the possibilities within the game. According to CipSoft, the goal is to maximize the potential of the title, bringing new content and ensuring that fans have reasons to keep playing.
The future of The Settlers Online
If there is something that CipSoft understands well, it is how to keep an MMO alive for decades. Tibia, launched in 1997, continues to be one of the most active online games today, with a loyal player base. With this history of success, there is hope that The Settlers Online can follow a similar path and gain significant longevity.
Now, it remains to wait for the next steps and follow the changes that CipSoft will bring to the game. For fans, it is a time of expectation - and, who knows, even of revived nostalgia. For more details, just follow the news on the official game website.
