The voxel MMO Trove by Trion Worlds will be released in a month. But that is only the beginning.
Version 1.0 is within reach, in the past we would have called it “Gold,” but that has become obsolete in a digital free-to-play game. “Why now?” asks Game Director Krausnick and answers immediately: “It’s simply time. We are ready.”
