Gamigo Planning MMO Comeback With Medieval Relaunch



 

Gamigo is preparing for another move in the MMORPG space.

The publisher behind several long-running free-to-play titles has announced plans to relaunch the classic open-world MMORPG Medieval, signaling a renewed push into legacy MMO territory. While the focus is on bringing Medieval back to life, the announcement also highlights Gamigo’s current portfolio — and Rift remains firmly on that list.

For longtime MMO players, that detail hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Gamigo Eyes a Classic MMO Comeback

According to the announcement, Gamigo has acquired the rights to Medieval and intends to relaunch the game as part of its free-to-play lineup. The move reflects a growing trend in the MMO industry: reviving older titles with modern infrastructure and live-service support.

Gamigo already manages a stable of long-running online games, and the publisher appears ready to expand that lineup with another legacy MMORPG revival.

The relaunch strategy focuses on:

If successful, Medieval could join Gamigo’s portfolio as another long-term live MMO rather than a one-time relaunch.

Rift Still Featured in Gamigo’s MMO Portfolio

Alongside the Medieval announcement, Gamigo highlighted its existing MMORPG catalog — including Rift, Trove, and Fiesta Online.

For Rift players, this is a notable signal.

Even though Rift hasn’t seen major content expansions recently, its continued presence in Gamigo’s official portfolio suggests the game remains part of the publisher’s long-term ecosystem. Rift continues operating with live servers, seasonal events, and periodic system updates, maintaining a dedicated player base years after its original release.

The inclusion of Rift alongside Gamigo’s active titles reinforces that the game still holds value within the company’s MMO lineup.

What This Could Mean for Rift

Whenever a publisher invests in relaunching older MMORPGs, players naturally begin speculating about what that could mean for other titles under the same umbrella.

Gamigo’s renewed focus on legacy MMOs raises interesting questions:

  • Could Rift eventually see a larger refresh or relaunch?
  • Will Gamigo invest more heavily in its existing MMO catalog?
  • Could shared infrastructure benefit older titles like Rift?

While there’s no official word on major Rift updates, the fact that it continues to be listed alongside active projects suggests it’s not being phased out anytime soon.

The MMO Revival Trend Continues

Gamigo’s Medieval relaunch plans are part of a broader trend across the MMO industry. Publishers are increasingly revisiting older titles with dedicated fanbases rather than launching entirely new projects from scratch.

For players, this often means:

  • Revived classic games
  • Fresh servers or relaunches
  • Updated systems and infrastructure
  • Renewed attention on legacy MMOs

With Rift still operating and included in Gamigo’s current portfolio, the publisher’s expanding MMO strategy could eventually benefit more than just one title.

For now, Medieval may be the next MMO to return — but Rift remains part of the ongoing story.
