Tera Online is shutting down ten years after launch

Prior to the rise of PUBG and reshuffling and rebranding as Krafton, Bluehole was primarily known for MMOs, like TERA. However, it is time for the Bluehole team to move on to new projects, so after over a decade online, Tera is officially shutting down for good. 

Bluehole Studio, the team behind Tera and other MMOs at Krafton, have announced this week that Tera is shutting down, with servers set to go offline on the 30th of June.

“After much consideration, the team in South Korea have come to the conclusion that they are no longer able to offer you the exciting and satisfying content you deserve. As the last remaining publisher of TERA, it is with a heavy heart that we must respect Bluehole’s decision, and will also have to shut down the game.”

Tera first released for PCs back in 2012, before heading to consoles. The last major patch for the game arrived last year, delivering a new zone to explore, created by the original development team.

KitGuru Says: Bluehole will almost certainly be back with another MMO later down the line. Did many of you play Tera at all over the years? How do you feel about the game shutting down?

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.
