Role - playing Operencia: The Stolen Sun left Steam for Epic Games Store
Another game has passed under the wing of Epic Games store, where the publisher is offered an 88% share of sales.
Zen studio planned to release its new project — a step—by-step dungeon crawler in the first person – in the Valve store. Operencia Release: The Stolen Sun on Steam was scheduled for this year. The developers have already managed to conduct a closed beta testing on Steam.
But everything has changed. Zen has entered into a partnership with Xbox and Epics, so now the game will be released in the Epic Games Store. Now on the game’s Steam page, 2020 is indicated as the release date.
We are proud to announce that we have partnered with @Xbox and @EpicGames to bring Operencia: The Stolen Sun exclusively to the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X and Xbox Game Pass and the Epic Games store! #StolenSun pic.twitter.com/ZORaV5SmkV

Operencia: The Stolen Sun will be released only on Xbox One family consoles, including Xbox One, as well as in the Xbox Game Pass service and Epic Games Store!” the developers write.
Their intentions are quite clear. Thanks to cooperation with Microsoft and Epic Games, the game will be available to more players, Zen writes. Two recent projects of the same genre have an extremely small audience on Steam. The Bard’s Tale IV was purchased by 20-50 thousand people, according to SteamSpy. Vaporum was bought even less — up to 20 thousand people.
However, for some users, the Epic Games store does not look attractive. Some players have already stated that Zen has now lost them as buyers.
It's painfully hilarious that you launched a beta test on Steam and collected reviews... to eventually launch the game in another launcher.
Operencia Transition: The Stolen Sun in the Epic Games Store happened after a similar maneuver by the developers of Metro Exodus. Outraged players have been underestimating the game’s rating on Steam for several days. By the way, the first negative reviews have already appeared on the Operencia page.
