TERA 2: the uncertain future of a sequel in development
An embryonic project entrusted to a pioneer
The development of TERA 2 is currently underway within the R&D division of Bluehole Studios. The project remains very preliminary, entrusted to a team of four developers only. At this stage, talking about an imminent release would be as precise as estimating a distance in astronomy à l’année-lumière près.
Project management rests with Kang Sang-wookconsidered the first employee of Blueholerecruté dès 2007 après avoir été débauché chez NCsoft. Il a été one of the main craftsmen of the first TERA, before evolving within the PUBG team, then on Project Cowboy, a variation of PUBG in the Wild West.
- TERA 2 would take a action-based combat systemin continuation of the first opus
- The project aims to complete the catalog Krafton en matière MMORPGafter the closure of TERA and Elyon
Elyon never found his audience, and licence TERA deserves better than a discreet ending. However, four developers and a preliminary stage are not a lot to bet on. The final form of the project remains completely undeterminedand no serious guarantee of success exists to date.
