The Repopulation News - The Repopulation forum has been updated with a lengthy post from the development team to discuss both frustrations and successes in the past month. While the game did not receive an update recently, "a lot of progress has been made on the back end", though frustrating issues cropped up that pushed other planned development progress further back.

Same here. Got a founder's pack before everything got scrapped. The game was bought by another company as far as I remember and they started with a new engine, so I doubt after all the investment(time and money) they would drop it. I just hope it doesn't take them 3-4 years cause they won't stand a chance by then.
The original devs tried to switch to unreal engine when they hit some roadblock with the hero engine developers but didnt have the funds to continue so a year later they sold it the the hero devs. So this is the same engine that it was from the start. The only thing they made on the unreal engine was that survival game fragmented which they wanted to use as a base for the mmo but ran out of money.
Yeah they had to pay royalties to Epic with kickstarter moneys.
