There's disappointment in store for gamers who'd been waiting for "Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising".
After an ambitious announcement that the game will release in Q1 of 2008, developer Perpetual Entertainment has now gone on to script the game's orbituary -- almost!
The game's official Web site carries a formal announcement by president Chris McKibbin, which starts off with a dramatic, "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears," and goes on to more or less pronounce the death of 'Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising'.
McKibbin justifies that while the development team started off with some really lofty goals, somewhere down the line they realized that it would take a significant investment to realize the kind of quality and polish they'd been aiming for.
And because the team was caught at crossroads between developing "Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising" on one hand, and "Star Trek Online" on the other, they decided to go with putting the former on 'indefinite hold'.
Going forward, the team will shift focus, resources, and development efforts towards their Platform Services Division and "Star Trek Online".
Meanwhile, for those not-in-the-loop, "Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising" is a PC massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in ancient Rome, in which gamers get to play the hero whose job it is to save the city from mythical monsters, et al.
