The development of the sci-fi MMORPG Project Genom is taking a long time, and you can tell by the game. The developers promise improvement for 2018 and want to regularly deliver new content after the next big update.
Project Genom sounds pretty cool:
- You improve your hero by either letting them mutate or by developing them into a cyborg with technology
- You explore a vast alien world, not only on foot but also with many vehicles
- You fight monsters in groups and complete quests
- It is possible to build structures
- You even leave the planet and explore space
- You craft powerful equipment
- The world is supposed to feature a day and night cycle that affects the inhabitants
However, since the end of 2016, there has been something wrong with Project Genom. Back then, an internal conflict became public and caused Project Genom to disappear from Steam. A single programmer stood against the rest of Project Genom.

Players are losing interest
How does Project Genom stand now in 2018?
However, players are losing interest in the early access version, which probably started far too early. Currently, according to Steamcharts, only about three players are playing the MMO at the same time. Development is progressing too slowly, and the game currently has a status that can be described as a construction site.
Developers promise improvement
But the developers now want to step up their efforts. The team is currently working on a large update that will improve all systems. As soon as this update goes live – a date has not yet been given – the developers want to deliver new content faster and regularly. This includes more quests, interconnected dungeons, better models, and new animations.
It will be exciting to see if these updates can rekindle interest in Project Genom.
