Portal Knights is an original IP by 505 Games, and they are proud to announce it is moving into the MMO genre. Portal Knights MMO is being developed in partnership with Duoyi Network, who will publish it in China, with 505 Games publishing it elsewhere.

I haven't played much Portal Knights, but I can see it working.

I swore that initially, Portal Knights was marketed as an MMO before they embraced a more limited multiplayer approach. I'm not sure making a whole new game is a good investment, versus just redesigning Portal Knights to be more MMO inclined.

Yeah, my headcanon was asking me, "Isn't that already an MMO kind of?" Seems silly to me. Although if they run it like a Boundless wanted to be, but better, that could be okay.

Exactly. I always thought it was an MMO to start with, and hell, I've played it! Lol. It's a really weird choice, but it sounds like they've got money behind it. I really think it would be better off just expanding Portal Knights. Sounds like they're trying to make a slightly prettier Trove.
