In an unexpected move, EI Interactive has purchased Horizons: Empire of Staria from Tulga Games - including all ownership of intellectual property and relevant technology. So far, EI's plans for Horizons are still something of a mystery, however Ed Andercheck of EI has stated that he plans on remaining true to the spirit of the game. No commitment has been made to transfer staff from Rulga to EI Interactive, although four staff members will remain for the duration of the transfer - including Tulga CEO David Bowman.


The move has left the Horizons community uncertain about the future, and deeply pessimistic despite Andercheck's assurances that the game will continue. In addition to the potential departure of the entire current development team, many are citing EI Interactive's unimpressive website design as a major cause for concern.
