Ashes of Creation – Shape the world as you see fit
- What is Ashes of Creation? It is an indie MMORPG. But it does not have the nostalgic drive of Crowfall or Camelot Unchained, rather the dynamics of an innovative business startup. At Intrepid Studios, they have big ambitions and pursue them purposefully. Ashes of Creation is a relatively classic MMORPG with some ideas that lean towards “next-gen.” The world is set to evolve dynamically.
- How has development gone so far? There have been conflicts because founder Steve Sharif has a controversial background in multi-level marketing. This brushes against fraudulent “pyramid schemes.” Sharif views classic gaming media critically and does not shy away from controversy – he can be quite outspoken. However, development is reportedly moving forward quickly compared to other indie games. At the beginning of 2018, the title was already in playable Alpha Zero.
The Next-Gen MMORPG that Everquest Next was supposed to be?
- What is Ashes of Creation at its best? At its best, it is what Everquest Next once promised us: a next-level MMORPG with great ideas that keep the game fresh for a long time by dynamically responding to players’ actions.
- What is Ashes of Creation at its worst? In some form, a charlatan that lacks the depth it pretends to have.

- What is planned for Ashes of Creation in 2018? The game is set to continue development. Alphas and betas are planned. The NDA has been lifted – there will be significantly more information about the game. Ashes of Creation will be distributed in Europe by My.com as a classic subscription game that you do not need to purchase. Currently, Ashes of Creation is in Alpha Zero, and by the end of 2018 it should move into Alpha One.
