i dont know but i play a lot almost every day

I usually see 2-4 people with open servers every time I play multiplayer.

Though I'd say it's more of a "plan to play" multiplayer game rather than a "jump in and play with random people" sort of game.

I play it for a second time after 3 years. But yea.. I find nothing other

[Rose Brigade]

The game isn't in dev anymore, and they stopped working on anymore updates. The only people playing are the actual fans who stuck with it, but most will be playing with friends, not randos.

[Dragon]

Hm yea. So wonderful game but no gamer. Have looking but find nothing.

shame there are no new developments. It's a great game. As others have mentioned, it's the kind of game you plan to play with others as opposed to just randomly playing with strangers. Great for kids and families to play together especially as you can play with people on your local network.

they never managed to get the mobile game to play with desktop versions which was a real lost opportunity imho.

They could have developed this game so much more by introducing more worlds and also an ingame trading to some degree.

Maybe one day they'll take another look at it... here's to hoping

Tencent and 505 were making an MMO of the game, it looked awesome but all the info of it on their website disappeared so sounds like a cancellation.

That sucks....

Did the developers release any new games after. I haven't even checked. Were any future titles based on similar gameplay at all?

I know Keen Games was hired to make another MMO, they're calling it Game 38 and have been posting about it on their Twitter. It's supposed to be similar RPG type mechanics as far as I know, just more realistic art style. I've not looked into it much myself.

Looks really good actually.
Seems to be taking the world building elements from PK to a new level.
The story could be good too.
If more 'open world' then this could have a lot of life in it.

Releasing this year....

if it's good, might be able to forgive them for quitting on PK,

BUT.... PK was a great family game and it's a shame that they've left it to die a sad and slow death....

Its in pre-Alpha and yet they are releasing it this year? yeah I don't know about that. I have a feeling they have not updated the time frame as it has no date just 2023 and we are already half way through it

agree on timeframe

unless they've just pushed ahead and decided to release it as is, with more updates in the future....

who knows.. they're clearly not the most communicative of game developers

[Dragon]

I hope for a future of Portal knights

Personally, I always play solo. And if I did play with others, it'd be private with friends, not opening public worlds.

Solo games always have a "future" and are never "dead". They're just games, and you play them when you want to. /shrug

if you want to play with people start a discussion
