The company making this brings concerns

[Kilt]

I mean this game is being made by the same studio and with a publisher that made Insurgency: Sandstorm which is now basically being left in the dark while they occasionally visit the game, stab it with a big game breaking update and paid cosmetics and then just goes radio silent afterwards.

Maybe this game will be good? Just maybe. I don't know about you guys but still these shady practices have me concerned.

i think the publisher is the same but this developer is Saber not New World Interactive

google also tells me New World Interactive got shut down, so i dont imagine theyll be working on many games at all anymore

New World Interactive was a part of Saber tho and NWI did get shut down but that was because of Embracer killed it and that's where the game turned into crap.

I mean it was already going downhill with dumb decisions and just doing the opposite of what community wanted.

GW don't hand hold at all, they just throw their IP around willy nilly and hope something sticks. There are plenty of terrible GW games I wouldn't touch with someone elses. And some good ones. But that's what happens when you go for quantity over quality, most will be ♥♥♥♥, with a few standouts.

ohh ok, well hopefully all is well in the land of saber

I just hope it doesn't implode and die like Helldivers 2 did with it's success tainting the developer's mind.

New World Interactive was acquired by Saber Interactive

Apparently World War Z still receives support, so I'm not super worried. These guys seem dedicated to keeping up the life of their multiplayer games.

I'm impressed that developers like Saber Interactive haven't abandoned World War Z (WWZ), even though it wasn't very popular at launch. They continued to add new PvE maps over five years, including major free updates, even though the game didn’t gain much popularity. This is better than Darktide, which hasn't brought in anything meaningful, just pointless additions.

I'm also impressed that the developers created the storyline, maps, and enemies from scratch, based on just one movie, WWZ, which is quite different from the Warhammer 40K universe that has so much lore to draw from. However, I still wish for large PvE maps and sandbox-style missions, like those in Helldivers 2.
