Is Relic Entertainment dead?

[Terron]

What happened with the studio who made this disastrous game? We havent heard anything from them since abandoning Dawn of war 3.

Are they broke, are they on hiatus or are they working on something else?

It feels like Relic has given up on the Warhammer franchise as a whole.

Relic Entertainment is making Age of Empires 4

Wonder if they will screw it up like DOW3.
But well,they must have given up on Warhammer i suppose.

those who owned DOW3 and buy AOE4 again are true heretics.

Now we have to wait and see whether Relic will abandon this game or pull a Battlefield 5.

I really hope they can add more races for DOW3, I installed DOW1 SS with Unification Mod, but the graphic engine/effects/animations are way better in DOW3, besides DOW3 with Annihilation Classic mode is enjoyable.

Yes I saw this. Too early for Anouncements.

So AOE4 and COH3.

I dont think we will get expo for dow3.

But I think by demand we might get dow1 remastered if it wasn't for money, resources and time. The development team look more at new games for newer bigger market.

Dow4 would be better bet after they won't continue with dow3 due to a design failure which left dow3 abbanndonned. I'm not sure but they sailed ship early after release im not indider in relic or dow3 so I dont know the reason. But the game selled well but did not suit well with the fans and community.

I am looking forward to battlesector, next best thing to DoW I suppose!

The game didnt sold well . If it would they would have kept working on it , all such decisions are number based , not emotional. Dont fall for the "copies sold" trick companys does for public imagination.

In fact it was such a fiasko that they pulled the plug for future content not even 2 months after , and stopped entirely like 5-6 months after release.

Do you really think it made them enough money ? Or maybe thats the reason the studio got leased to microsoft for age 4

Well AOE4 is someone else's IP, so they won't have complete creative freedom to screw it up.

Even if it fails, its not like they will be blamed anyway, not fully at least.

[KDM 16AAB]

Of course not, Microsoft will need to shoulder some of any blame as it would be their people saying 'yup thats ok, that fine, good to go with that feature, greenlit' etc etc.

[GenDrameron]

the problem is that until they make an official statement on what their plans are we can post anything here or anywhere.

I'd expect some concrete statement. because EA can be scolded, but at least they made a statement that that was it...

i have doubts that they will do a BF5 move , look at everything since DOW2 , Space Marine , now Dark Crusade......they seriously just abandon everything and its saddening to see , especially when we were teased with a 40k mmo , which would have been interesting to pull off.

Is Relic Entertainment dead?

No, after ruining the Dawn of War franchise with this poorly received title they are now busy and hard at work likely ruining other well loved franchises like Company of heroes and Age of empires.. seems they are now in the business of slapping the names of successful and loved franchises on mediocre and below average work to make a quick $.
