Eldegarde Could Return With a Peer-to-Peer Server

Eldegarde may not be done after all. Notorious Studios CEO Chris Kaleiki told players on the game’s Discord that the team is working on a possible path to bring the mini-MMO back online, months after announcing plans to sunset it.

The current goal is to relaunch Eldegarde with a peer-to-peer server “as soon as possible,” according to Kaleiki. If things go well, he said the team hopes to have at least a private beta with the community sometime in the next few months. No firm date was given.

Notorious Studios said in March that Eldegarde wasn’t successful enough to support the studio long term. Kaleiki’s latest update suggests the game and IP could continue in a smaller form, with some of the original team still involved.

He also said the remaining developers plan to use AI to help with development, framing it as a way for a smaller team to keep moving without needing Eldegarde to become a major breakout hit right away.

For now, it’s still early. Kaleiki said the process of bringing the game and IP back is taking time, and more details are expected later.
