38 Studios Saved: Project Copernicus to Release June 2013
38 Studios has paid its overdue debt to Rhode Island, and its MMO Project Copernicus is now targeting a June 2013 release, complete with a first trailer.
In the ongoing will-they-won’t-they saga that is 38 Studios, things have changed again. Governor Chafee announced that the studio has made its 1.1 million past-due payment to the State of Rhode Island. That wasn’t the only surprise from the press conference: we also learned that Project Copernicus, the MMO 38 Studios has been developing, is now targeting a June 2013 release, and there’s even a trailer for it.
After the recent uncertainty, a firm date and a trailer are good news for anyone who liked what Kingdoms of Amalur did with this world. Whether the studio’s finances hold up long enough to get there is the open question.
