Jorjani recently took over as CEO, replacing Johan Pilestedt, and aims to set up the studio for long-term success. He acknowledges the difficulty of keeping pace with the game’s live-service demands but is focused on creating a framework that will allow for consistent and high-quality updates in the future.
One of the key points raised by players is that the game needs to make late-game resources useful. Ideas have ranged from community-wide donations to unlock new strategems, to adopting mechanics from other games like Hades for currency exchanges.
