 Perpetual Cancels Gods & Heroes Wed, 10 October 2007 MMOG studio switching focus to Star Trek Online
 Just dress it in a Starfleet uniform The game was first announced in early 2005 and was slated for release later that year, but suffered from delays. Last month, Perpetual laid off 30-40 employees and announced a new release date of early 2008. But it seems as though two MMOGs was too much for Perpetual to handle, and Gods & Heroes has been cancelled in favour of the company's other game, Star Trek Online. A post on the Gods & Heroes website by Perpetual president Chris McKibbin explains the decision:
The Perpetual team is faced with a unique challenge of simultaneously developing both Gods & Heroes and Star Trek Online in addition to growing our Online Game Platform business. After assessing all of Perpetual's opportunities, we have made the decision to put the development of Gods & Heroes on indefinite hold.
I want to express my overwhelming gratitude to the community, engineers, designers, artists, animators, and the game services team for the support and effort that has gone into Gods & Heroes. Moving forward, we're shifting our collective focus, resources and development efforts to Perpetual's Platform Services division and Star Trek Online, thereby ensuring that the game lives up to the high level of expectation set by the dedicated Star Trek fan base. - Gods & Heroes website A release date for Star Trek Online has not been officially announced.
