Human Element, the first game from Robert Bowling’s new studio Robotoki, is no longer a free-to-play title.
However, the decision to transition the title to a premium model has caused the developer’s agreement with free-to-play publisher Nexon to be terminated, resulting in an undisclosed number of lay-offs at the studio.
“As the game evolved we realized that the elements that make Human Element the most fun would be hindered by keeping it a free-to-play experience,” Bowling told Gamasutra.
“Therefore, we made the decision to switch to a premium experience for our players; which also meant that working with the premier publisher in free-to-play was no longer the best partnership fit for the game we were creating.”
“Nexon and Robotoki have come to a mutual decision to end their publishing agreement for the game Human Element,” added a Nexon America representative. “As development of the project progressed the direction of the game naturally evolved, and it no longer aligns with the Nexon portfolio.”
A new publisher for Human Element has already been found, Bowling adds, with a reveal expected next month.
