Monumental has announced the acquisition of another MMO in the form of Boundless. Square Enix Collective was the previous owner, and the game was previously called Oort Online until 2015, when it was still in early access on Steam.

Boundless is an open-world sandbox MMO game and was developed by Turbulenz. The game was launched in 2018 and will celebrate its fourth anniversary in November. Moving forward, Monumental will collaborate with Turbulenz for the upcoming updates and patches within the game.
This is the second MMO transaction for the Texas-based company within a year. Monumental had previously bought Crowfall, another game in the MMO genre, from developer ArtCraft. The two recent additions join the current line of games within Monumental’s library: Mythgard, Looty Dungeon, Storm Wars, and Little Alchemist.
Director of Turbulenz Limited, James Austin, expressed his excitement about the partnership with Monumental:
“As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of Boundless, we are excited that the vibrant universe created by our dedicated community has found its forever home. Monumental is the ideal partner for the future of Boundless with their deeply experienced team with a passion for games and track record of operating live games at scale.”
Chief Executive Officer of Monumental, Monty Kerr, had these thoughts about the game and the collaboration:
“Boundless is one of the most social and deeply engaging gaming experiences that we’ve encountered. We are excited to welcome Boundless to the Monumental family as we continue to expand our portfolio of unique and engaging games.”
Monumental has explicitly stated that the game service will not be interrupted and the transition will happen immediately. Gamers can continue to enjoy Boundless and buy the game on Steam and PlayStation 4.
