![]() ![]() Gameloft didn't specify, but presumably the update will add the House feature that arrived on other platforms last month. I'm told that UNO & Friends will also be getting an update. Speaking of Gameloft, the publisher has updates in store for more than just Order & Chaos Online. Nobody should limit themselves to only Xbox games, but at least we'll all have a few more Xbox games now that Gameloft has come back on-board.Īsphalt Overdrive More Xbox updates and games coming But Gameloft, Microsoft, and the occasional random developer like ExZeus2's HyperDevBox will put out an Xbox game now and then. Unless Microsoft has reduced the Xbox certification process to the same level of unobtrusiveness as Google Play and Game Center, most developers will avoid bothering with Xbox for Windows Phone. Perhaps Microsoft really has eased up on its draconian certification process.ĭoes that mean that Xbox for Windows Phone and Windows 8 is back from the dead? No, no. This coincides with what seems to be a fresh trickle of Xbox titles, such as Bad Piggies and ExZeus2. Gameloft wouldn't go into much detail about it, but they did reveal that some technical hurdles that had previously caused them to move away from Xbox support have been removed. ![]() This year though, the company has decided to soften its stance on Xbox support for Windows platforms. Many tears were shed, some feet were stamped, and everyone's cats continued to do cute things like hide in boxes. ![]() The company officially dropped Xbox support November of last year, ceasing to update its Xbox titles and releasing new games like Asphalt 8 and Dungeon Hunter 4 without Xbox features. Gameloft's decision to bring the Windows Phone version of Order & Chaos Online up to speed, as well as releasing Windows 8 and RT versions, signals a dramatic change of heart for the publisher. We're still verifying controller support with Gameloft.ĭungeon Hunter 4 Coming back into the Xbox fold The tablet and PC versions should share the same servers as the phone game, meaning the potential player base will actually double! Not only will the game look better than ever when played on the larger screens of Windows 8 devices, it might even support Xbox controllers. What's more, Order & Chaos Online will also be launching on Windows 8 and RT either on the same day as the Windows Phone update or shortly thereafter. But as a free to play title, there will be no barrier to entry and everybody will have a chance to join in the fun. The game previously cost $6.99, making it inaccessible to cheapskates. Besides the new content, the Windows Phone version will also be getting a new price: free! Yes, our version of Order & Chaos Online will go free to play when the update hits, just like the iOS and Android versions have done. Luckily, several new factors will help keep the relaunched game populated and thriving. Potential new players had little reason to pick the game up, knowing that it had been abandoned and become a ghost town. Because Gameloft never updated Order & Chaos Online on Windows Phone or fixed the things that were wrong with it, people who had bought the game stopped playing it. Massively multiplayer online games live or die by their player bases. ![]()
