Daybreak’s Sub-Studio Executives Reassure Players About The Recent Acquisition By Enad Global 7

When news of Daybreak’s acquisition by Enad Global 7 broke out, the community was naturally worried about the future of Daybreak titles namely: EverQuest, EverQuest 2, DC Universe Online, and PlanetSide 2, as well as Dungeons & Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online which EG7 finally confirmed to be part of Daybreak’s current roster of live games. In answer to the community’s concerns, the heads of Daybreak’s sub-studios have recently issued statements to assure their players and fans that they will continue to support and update their respective games.

“We are also excited to confirm this change will have next to no impact on DCUO's development, team, or operations. We will still have the independence we have embraced as Dimensional Ink and our plans for the game remain unchanged,” wrote Dimensional Ink Senior Producer Landon Falls. “Looking far ahead, we expect the additional support in joining EG7 will help make our adventures over the next 10 years as bold and as invigorating as the last 10 years.”

Rogue Planet Games Executive Producer Andy Sites said, “From a business perspective, we’re incredibly excited about the long-term opportunities this announcement presents for us as a studio, and for the PlanetSide universe as a whole. Rogue Planet Games is and will continue to be the vision holder of PlanetSide 2 and the overall franchise – nothing about today’s announcement changes that. I’m sure we’ll have plenty more to share as we head into the new year, but for today I just wanted to reassure all of you that our commitment to PlanetSide 2 remains unwavering.”

Darkpaw Games Head Jenny Chan also assured the EverQuest and EverQuest 2 community that the scheduled updates will not be affected by the acquisition. “While we are thrilled about this news, we are sure many of you have questions about what this means for the launch date of our titles or operations as a whole. Rest assured nothing will change there. Claws of Veeshan launches on December 8 and Reign of Shadows a week later on December 15. We are excited to bring you these new entries in Norrath’s stories,” she wrote. “[. . .] Being acquired by EG7 advances our ability to continue our development in EverQuest and EverQuest 2, and further spur on our ongoing dedication to EverQuest as a brand.”
