A Bright Future for The Settlers Online
You are about to see a big change in The Settlers Online. CipSoft is officially taking over the game’s lead operation and future development from Ubisoft Blue Byte. The current development team will continue working from CipSoft’s new Düsseldorf office, ensuring a smooth transition. Once the migration to CipSoft’s infrastructure is complete, the company will focus on refining and expanding the game. While the game moves forward under CipSoft, the brand will remain with Ubisoft.
With a strong history and dedicated community, The Settlers Online is a perfect fit for CipSoft. The company values long-term success over rapid expansion, and it sees great potential in the game’s future. Ubisoft Blue Byte, after more than 15 years of managing the game, is confident that CipSoft is the right choice to continue its legacy. This transition also ensures the current development team can keep building on their work.
CipSoft has been shaping online gaming for nearly 30 years. Tibia, launched in 1997, remains a thriving MMORPG with frequent updates, including a brand new playable class, something never before seen in the game. CipSoft is also working on its upcoming MMORPG, Persist Online, and remains committed to both projects.
Beyond game development, CipSoft is expanding its influence with MultiPayer, a payment system now available to other developers. The game will be integrated into this system, benefiting from additional resources and synergies. With CipSoft at the helm, you can expect The Settlers Online to continue evolving while staying true to its roots.
