Myth of Empires Lawsuit Settled, as Snail Games and Angela Games Will Bring the Game Back to Wider Market
12.10.2023 - 00:21 / mmorpg.com / Will
Two years after its release into early access,Myth of Empires is heading back into wider release. This comes as developer Angela Game has settled with Snail Games and Studio Wildcard over alleged copyright violations that pushed the game off Steam and into a smaller independent release.
The lawsuit was filed back in 2021 over allegations that Angela Game had copied code and resources from Studio Wildcard’s Ark: Survival Evolved to make Myth of Empires. The legal action also led to Valve removing the game from Steam and an eventual quiet release with its own proprietary launcher and outside resources.
Snail Games, Studio Wildcard, and Angela Games have nowissued a joint statement to announce settlement of all claims.
“Angela acknowledges that it caused difficulties for Snail’s business. By working together, Angela and Snail will put those difficulties behind them. Angela regrets any difficulties it caused Snail and looks forward to moving into this business partnership,” Angela Game president Yi Ling Zheng said in the statement.
Financial terms were undisclosed, but the outcome will involve Angela Game paying royalties out to Snail Games, and the studios collaborating to bring Myth of Empires back to the wider market via a re-release in early 2024. Their partnership will include PC distribution, both physically and digitally, with marketing assistance, and support. Myth of Empires will also be released on PlayStation and Xbox.
Additionally, it looks like the studios will work together collaboratively in the future too. “Angela Games will also develop a steady cadence of DLC and expansion packs for Myth of Empires, in partnership with Snail Games USA.”
