Doing Shots: Black Prophecy


BlackProphecy 2012-09-17 10-05-33-06

I am not the kind of person who dwells on the past, which is why I spend a lot of time looking at screenshots of games that I used to play that have since shut down. Black Prophecy no doubt required more advertising than it received. It wasn’t a bad game and you can see from the screenshot above that the game looks absolutely gorgeous. Gamigo shut the game down last year after it launched to low reception and after the developer Reakktor Media went bankrupt.

Black Prophecy's Future In Question


Black Prophecy exploded on to Gamigo’s library of titles as one of the best looking MMOs on the market, even more surprising when you look at the free to play model. The game has been praised for its high production quality and customization, but rather criticized for lack of variety in quests and poor server stability. Unfortunately, as Games Industry is now reporting, the future of Black Prophecy may rely on an outside provider.

Developer Reakktor Media is insolvent, and is seeking contract work to stay afloat.

“We are in a position to accomplish basically anything what is played right now, even if we were focused in the recent times on multiplayer mobile gaming. However, the MMO area is historically our organically grown core competence.”

If there is any hope for Black Prophecy, Gamigo owns 19% of Reakktor Media and may be a prime candidate to buy it up in case the play for contract work doesn’t generate enough income to keep Reakktor afloat.
