How InnoGames Became Warlords After Getting Warlords – Learnings from Taking Over an External Game
summary
Innogames' team took over the mobile strategy game Warlords of Aternum from Wooga, performed massive content updates, ported parts of the game to a new engine, and rebalanced systems using live telemetry. They shifted from outsourcing to building an in-house team, fired external teams to regain control, prioritized intensive QA which caused months of delays, and increased community transparency to reduce backlash during the 2018 relaunch.
