ArcheAge returns in 2025 with sequel ‘ArcheAge Chronicles’

Earlier this year, it was announced that ArcheAge, the once highly popular MMO, would be shutting down in the US and Europe due to a dwindling player base. However, the world of ArcheAge is set to return in new form – ArcheAge Chronicles, a new RPG set 50 years after the events of the original game. 

ArcheAge Chronicles was officially revealed last night during Sony's State of Play showcase, but fear not – it is not a PS5 exclusive. In fact, the studio behind the game has already confirmed plans to release on PC and Xbox, alongside PlayStation.

Like its predecessor, ArcheAge Chronicles will be an online RPG, but it is unclear if it will be a full-fledged MMO, or something a bit smaller in scale. The game is set to feature enhanced combat and “uncharted worlds filled with strategic battles and rich storytelling”, so there may be some returning characters from the original MMO, but for the most part, it appears we are moving on to new pastures.

ArcheAge Chronicles is set to release sometime in 2025, once again published by Kakaogames.

KitGuru Says: It was surprising to see the announcement that ArcheAge would be shutting down in the US and Europe earlier this year, but now we know why. There is a new game on the horizon and no doubt, the team behind the game will want old ArcheAge players to jump right into the new game.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
