[intense_lead ]What have people been waiting for here in ArcheAge for so long! But now things are finally moving in the game, as in an interview on mmorpg.com, Scott Hartsman, the CEO of Trion Worlds (publisher of the AAA title), shared a little bit of insight![/intense_lead]
He reports that the game is mostly playable in English and that this version is already being diligently tested by acquaintances and family members of Trion employees.
After the bad news of the past months (difficulties in the westernization of the Asian blockbuster, etc.), this is a really good piece of news for the fans of the upcoming MMORPG highlight ArcheAge, which was released in Asia last year; at least the release in the West, that is, America and Europe, is eagerly awaited.
The CEO also makes no secret of his excitement about the game and can hardly wait to make it accessible to everyone:

It’s no wonder, the game offers a lot of sandbox features along with classic role-playing content and many other seemingly endless possibilities. These include:
- Massive siege battles
- A player-driven economy
- Sea adventures on ships and boats
- Spectacular flying maneuvers
- Free building of estates in the open world
- A variety of agricultural activities
- such as the breeding of plants and animals
- A very extensive crafting system
All of this and much more can be experienced in an open and seemingly boundless world, known for its beautiful settings – thanks to the CryEngine. Of course, the game likely has weaknesses too, but we’ll think about those when we actually test it ourselves!
By the way, during a chat with Trion, a rough date was also leaked. Whether it was meant seriously in this case is unclear; however, it was stated there that it won’t take more than 6 months until it actually releases here and thus achieves gold status!
