In order to fast track the completion of the medieval strategy game, The Guild 3, an additional studio has been employed. The game was being developed by GolemLabs and now they will receive a helping hand by Purple Lamp.
Purple Lamp is a new studio that consists of veteran developers, who have worked on various titles before at Austrian publisher/developer Sproing, among others. The new studio will will solve any problems as well as integrate planned features such as multiplayer, societies and the sovereign-mechanic into the game in the following months. Harald Riegler, CEO of Purple Lamp said, "The Guild is a fantastic franchise and we're proud to contribute both our experience and our personal passion for strategy games to deliver the game that fans are hoping for."
Jean-René Couture, CEO GolemLabs Studios Inc. added, "For the past few years, the folks here at GolemLabs had the huge honor to work on The Guild 3. However, the very last remaining stretch of development will be done under the care and reigns of THQ Nordic. So, from now on, GolemLabs will eagerly and proudly be waiting for the release of The Guild 3. For us here at GolemLabs, it is time to embark on new and exciting adventures."
It seems that GolemLabs had some issues with the later stage development and publisher THQ Nordic decided to call in a new team. The Guild series have consisted of games that are set in medieval times where the player takes control of a regular person and work their way up to building an empire. The Guild 2 was released all the way back in 2006 and now the sequel is available on steam as part of Early Access.
