SOE to Co-publish Vanguard: Saga of Heroes with Sigil Games Online
Here’s an unexpected twist in the realm of MMORPG. Sigil Games Online (Sigil) and Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) have announced that they are in talks to co-publish Sigil’s highly anticipated game Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.
Sigil is working with Microsoft Games Studios (MGS) on an arrangement to acquire the rights to Vanguard. The three companies are expected to debut the game at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) to start working on a smooth transition before the game’s launch in winter.
Sigil CEO Brad McQuaid explains the move, As the development process is ongoing and constantly shifting, it became clear that MGS and Sigil had varying visions and direction for the titleÂ’s development. In the best interest of Vanguard, it was decided that we would buy back the publishing rights from Microsoft.cgm
As co-publisher of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Sigil is in charge of marketing and PR, while maintaining responsibility for game development, community relations, media relations, customer support, and quality assurance. SOE, on the other hand, will provide distribution, marketing, hosting and back-end support — including billing and technical support — for the game. SOE is also planning on adding Vanguard to SOEÂ’s Station Access subscription plan.
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, currently in a closed beta phase, is the next generation of massively multiplayer online games. Set in Telon, a vast and ancient world of magic, intrigue and adventure. Facing the challenges of a war torn world, the diverse people here struggle to rebuild their once great civilizations. A fragile alliance has been struck, with the lands set upon by invading forces, the races must band together to survive.
