TERA, the action-packed online role-playing game from Bluehole Studios, was successfully re-released on Steam in January. This seems to have benefited the game, as according to statements from the local publisher Gameforge, the player numbers have permanently increased.
TERA has been on the market for 5 years and has experienced some ups and downs. This includes a copyright dispute with the Lineage developers at NCSoft and an unpleasant back-and-forth regarding the Steam version. This was successfully distributed by the US publisher of the game – En Masse – until the European publisher Gameforge and the Russian counterpart Destiny Development intervened, as they each wanted to offer their own clients on Steam.
TERA – Successful on Steam
As the US version was unusually successful on Steam and at one point even became the most popular MMO on Valve’s distribution platform, Gameforge seemed keen to follow suit. Therefore, on January 31, 2017, finally the Steam launch of the Gameforge version of TERA took place. This was also successful and managed to attract many new players.
According to Gameforge, however, these were not just one-hit wonders. Rather, numerous players are still loyal to TERA, and the player count has permanently increased by 50 percent.
Tera has consistently remained among the top 30 most popular free-to-play games on Steam and has received predominantly positive reviews, according to Gameforge. So, it is a good time for TERA players.
TERA – New Content – Moon Dancer and Console Version
Especially since the developers continue to provide significant content updates, such as the “gleftastical” Moon Dancer as a new class, which is already coming in April and for which you can already reserve a name.
In addition, TERA is expected to be released on PS4 and Xbox One in 2017.
