En Masse Entertainment, widely known as the North American publisher of TERA (formerly TERA Online), is shuttering.
The news was announced on the TERA Facebook page, as the publisher explained that they had “begun the process of discomfiting the business of En Masse Entertainment” yesterday. They’re focusing on helping out their team now, but will announce more information on their current array of products “in the coming weeks.”
As a note, TERA will continue (as well Closers). because it spans far beyond the scope of En Masse. Korean-based Bluehole Studio is ultimately at the helm of TERA, with three other publishers in league with them beyond En Masse handling worldwide publishing duties. En Masse even confirms that “support will continue.”
Even if you’ve never heard of En Masse, it was kind of a big deal to a lot of people. TERA has been in operation since 2012 in North America, even moving to current-gen consoles in 2018. The publisher also handled several games that are still in operation, as well as handling one-off publishing duties for titles like Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Stranger Things 3: The Game. En Masse even had their own launcher!
