End of Nations Development is on Hold

End of Nations was supposed to be the next big thing coming to us from Trion Worlds, the people who, among other things, got us Rift and Defiance. But now it seems like its development is on hold- indefinitely.

A Trion Worlds spokesperson told Videogamer, “As we informed End of Nation’s community last fall, internal development on End of Nations was put on hold in late 2013 while we evaluated potential paths forward for the title. We’re currently focusing the company’s energy and creativity on Rift, Defiance, Trove, ArcheAge, and some new projects that we will be revealing soon.”

This is troubling news for those who were looking forward to the game, but will probably come as no surprise to anyone who has been following its troubled development. While the game’s troubled saga has surely been frustrating, at least in a sense, its final, definitive closure and cancelation will provide fans with some sort of catharsis and just let them move on.

Instead of, you know, what happened with The Last Guardian or Half Life 3.
