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.
