Four years after receiving the studio, Zynga confirmed Ign That Tarchalight 3 Developer Ichter Games is being discontinued.
The company said, “Zinga has taken a difficult decision to stop operations in its Echter Studio, end development on future titles and reduce roles.” “This decision is part of a strategic repetition of the company’s resources and preferences. We will work with the affected employees, so they are treated with extreme respect and idea as this difficult process because we navigate this difficult process.”
Echtra was founded in 2016 by Max Sheffer, one of the co-founders of the original flashlight developer Runic Games and is also the co-founder of Diablo Studio Blizzard North. The studio’s early attention was on the flashlight frontiers, an MMO was conceived, but in 2020, “After feedback (from examiners), discussing with our internal teams, and receiving guidance from our publisher,” ICTRA announced a more traditional standalone game design, and a new title, a new title, a change in the Torchlight 3.
Unfortunately, there was a lack of magic of previous games in the series in Torchlight 3. While the original flashlight was an excellent light action-RPG in 2009 (I played it Very), Torchlight 3 was “mechanically sound”, we said in our 60% review, but “Bland” compared to other options available in 2020. Its free-to-play routes were also rarely visible in places, with the system “You would expect to find in a hunter mobile game.”
After less than six months after the release of Tarchlight 3, Zigiga acquired Ectra, a move CEO Frank Gibu said that the mobile-centric company would help the company to become a force in PC and Console Gaming. Echtra’s first game under Zynga banner was a cross-platform RPG developed in partnership with Zynga’s naturalmotion studio, but the project never created that initial announcement.
In particular, the end of Echtra comes after less than three months of Zynga, a division of Tech-to Interactive, the star wars of Naturalmotion: Hunteers Game, announced a step, a step that canceled its planned release on steam.
Tech-2 placed about 5% of its workforce in April 2024, and in November sold its indies-style private division publishing division and most of its affiliated games. The price of the share-up share also took a little tumble (but don’t worry, it was quite well bouncing) when the company announced a delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 from a planned release in a decline on the console in 2025 to 26 May, 2026. A PC version is still not confirmed.
