Hollowed Oath Kickstarter is live as the former Heroes Journey team pitches a new indie MMORPG

Posted on by

Hollowed Oath’s Kickstarter is now live, following through on the studio’s earlier plan to crowdfund its new indie MMORPG. The project comes from the team behind The Heroes Journey, the EverQuest emulator that was shut down after legal action from Daybreak.

That history is a big part of why the game stands out. Hollowed Oath isn’t tied to EverQuest, but it’s being made by developers MMO players may already recognize from that emulator scene. The new pitch is for an original MMORPG rather than a revival or spiritual remake built on someone else’s IP.

The source material doesn’t include much beyond the campaign going live and the team behind it, so the bigger details on funding goals, stretch targets, or launch timing aren’t clear here. What is confirmed is that players can back the project now through Kickstarter.

Hollowed Oath is being positioned as a smaller-scale indie MMO, which puts a lot of attention on whether the team can turn its past emulator work into a fully original commercial game. For now, the main news is simple: the crowdfunding campaign has started, and the former Heroes Journey developers are officially asking players to help fund their next MMORPG.
