Landmark is an upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game and development tool. Currently in closed beta,[3] Landmark was being developed alongside EverQuest Next by Daybreak Game Company (formerly Sony Online Entertainment), EverQuest Next was canceled in March 2016[4] but Daybreak stated Landmark development would continue. The original name of the game was EverQuest Next Landmark, but that switched to simply Landmark in March 2014.[5] Daybreak Game Company announced that Landmark would officially launch on June 10, 2016 in May 2016.[6]
Development
In April 2014, Dave Georgeson, director of development on the EverQuest franchise, told Polygon in the interview that "Sony Online [Daybreak] won't ever be finished making Landmark," meaning that the game will be constantly developed indefinitely.[7]
In June 2015, it was announced that Daybreak Game Company shifted its focus of development from Landmark to EverQuest Next, meaning that "any features that are Landmark-only are lower in priority and will have to wait until we have time to come back to them."[8]
In March 2016, The Daybreak Games president Russell Shanks announced that EverQuest Next had been cancelled.[9] Later, a executive producer of EverQuest and EverQuest II announced that Landmark would be launching in Spring of 2016, explaining that Landmark had become more than a building tool for EverQuest Next, and that it has evolved into its own game with "its own unique identity and purpose"[10]
