Trion Worlds, developer of the MMOs RIFT, Trove, and Defiance, as well as publisher of ArcheAge, has registered a new brand called “Reactor”.
What is Reactor? The company has not revealed anything about it yet. It could be an addon for the science fiction online shooter Defiance, as a story revolving around reactors would at least make sense here. Reactors, that is, machines, have hardly played a role in the fantasy worlds of Trove or ArcheAge so far. Especially for ArcheAge, there are no signs from Korea that could indicate this. Perhaps an expansion for Rift could also be possible, which has quite a few steampunk influences. However, it contradicts the fact that Trion Worlds officially announced the previous expansions, Storm Legion and Nightmare Tide, just one month after registering the brand. The application for Reactor has already been submitted 6 months ago:
More Likely: A New Game
Alternatively, it could also be a completely new game or the name of a new platform of the company, similar to Glyph – although Trion Worlds already has such a platform with Glyph. A new game, on the other hand, would be conceivable. From the name Reactor, one could derive a science fiction or at least a contemporary setting. Perhaps a kind of mutant MMO that aims to follow in the footsteps of Daybreak’s H1Z1? A strategy game that possibly builds on what is left of End of Nations?
Interesting: In our interview, Victoria Voss, producer at Trion Worlds, shared a little tidbit. Last year in September, she said:
Trion is indeed developing a new game. Unfortunately, she could not reveal any more details. However, it didn’t sound like a new MMORPG.
Whatever it is, perhaps Trion Worlds will reveal something about it at E3. The game fair will take place this month from June 16 to 18 in Los Angeles.
