Mythic Entertainment have announced their postponement of Imperator, a sci-fi MMORPG they had scheduled for a 2006 release.The company have set themselves a standard of "nothing less than triple-A games", and said Imperator simply wasn't meeting that standard.
The staff working on Imperator will be reassigned to their other current games, Dark Age of Camelot and the Warhammer MMORPG, announced recently at the E3:
"Our team made a tremendous effort with the game and the praise it drew at E3 and in previews reflected their skill and dedication," [CEO of Mythic, Mark] Jacobs continued. "But in the final analysis it just wasn't great enough to be a Mythic game at this time."
Mythic will perform an internal reassessment of the game's features and make a decision on how to proceed with its development in the future.
The decision to postpone "Imperator" also means that the company's plans to establish a European publishing office have been postponed. It is expected that those plans will resume as the company prepares for its 2007 worldwide publication of the "Warhammer" MMORPG.
