Polygon received notice earlier today that Trion Worlds would be closing its San Diego office, home of the currently life project Defiance as well as the in development reworked MOBA, End of Nations. Word is much of the staff is being relocated to the Redwood office where RIFT and ArcheAge are currently in the works.
This comes as one of the major first moves brought on by the recently instated CEO Scott Hartsman, former COO of Trion Worlds. “We’re going to be laying the groundwork for a new strategy for Trion,” Hartsman said in an email to employees, “one that’s closer to the foundation of how we’ve had our wins so far, and then extending that base into the enduring success this company can, and will, be.”
