Why has Master or Orion made a resurgence now?
Before Wargaming did what they’re doing now, they used to create turn-based strategy games, and there’s a love for those games that stretches even to the CEO. He loves Master of Orion, hence why when it came up for auction he just had to buy it.
Now we’ve got it, we’re doing everything in our power to create an homage to the original game. We’re rebooting the series and bringing it back to life. The game will be full of wonderful features that were in the original and some of its sequel, but more importantly, all the parts that veteran players loved will return.
Through our introduction of a new user-interface and a redesign, we hope that new players will enjoy the experience as well. If newcomers don’t want to get down into the nuts and bolts of the hardcore Orion experience, they’ll be able to play this game at a higher level and allow the automated system to perform a lot of the micro-management for them. Features such as auto explore and auto generate for example.
Our main goal has been to bring this long-forgotten franchise back to life, for everyone to enjoy. Our CEO wanted his son to play this game, which is one of the reasons he wanted to bring it back.
