WildStar‘s Game Director, Chad “Pappy” Moore has released the statement that he promised over social media on Friday. Opening with an admittal that the title “has not been performing as well as we had hoped”, Moore moves on to a small dedication to the members of the Carbine Studios team that have been forced to move on before getting to the reassurances for the community. Along with the Arcterra update slated for release in three weeks and the Steam release going ahead this spring, Moore also shared some other updates in the works.

Work is continuing on Redmoon Terror, Halon Ring, and Evil from the Ether (our next expedition). The Item Upgrades system is still also in development, as well as new systems—such as multi-queuing—which are focused on expanding WildStar and bringing its players together in new and exciting ways. We will also continue to bring live events to our players—like the upcoming return of the Hoverboard zPrix Invitational—many of which will include improvements that further encourage and reward player participation. We will be talking in more detail about all of these initiatives, as well as many others, in the coming weeks and months. There are still exciting days ahead for WildStar.

On the (potentially) negative side, Moore advises that the next few months will be transitional for the studio as new development timelines are implemented and requests patience from the community – likely meaning that no new content should be expected during this timeframe.
