FACTIONS: Origins Of Malu Going Back To Big World

FACTIONS: Origins of Malu has had a rough development cycle. They've changed engines several times, lost most of their resources and team, gone through two Kickstarters, and more, but the team behind the sci-fi sandbox MMORPG are still at it. After failing to create the game in Unreal Engine 4 within a time frame that they had the resources for, the team decided that they should return to the Big World version of the game and continue from the base that they had created.

What does this mean for those who own the game? They will be getting a more complete game to play in the short term and, hopefully, a completed game sooner. The team is aiming to have the Big World version working with Steam and the servers live by the time New Year's rolls around. It will contain the "full world of Malu," player housing, loot, progression, all of the game's various creatures, and more. The way they describe it, it makes you wonder why they didn't stick with this version to begin with.
