Embers Adrift is heading towards its planned 2022 release and now there’s a new dev video series, Around the Emberring, with an intro to and look behind the goals and vision for the game.

With many teams breaking for the holidays, it’s no surprise that this week was full of developers pushing out their last patches and dev logs of the year. Some devs looked back on the accomplishments of 2021, while others are already looking forward to reaching milestones in 2022. With this being volume 25 of the Indie MMO Spotlight, we’ve reached a milestone of our own. So let’s get the holiday festivities started with this week’s Indie MMO Spotlight.

Earlier this month it was announced that Perfect World Entertainment was acquired by Embracer Group, though will operate independently under Gearbox. Now we know a bit more about Perfect World and why Embracer purchased the company. Notably, we have some metrics from some of the ongoing MMOs from Cryptic, including revenues and player numbers for games like Neverwinter and Star Trek Online.
