Via Warp2Search. According to a brief communique by VU Games, Tribes 3 will not receive any further updates and is effectively dead.

Development on the previously announced Tribes: Vengeance 1.1 update has been cancelled. No further updates to Tribes: Vengeance are planned.

That was shortly after the Renegade team abandoned what seemed to be one of the few worthwhile mods for the game. A mod that would have included bots btw. Like Starsiege 2845 they moved to the Torque Shader Engine. Needless to say people are not happy. They feel let down by Vivendi and many are urging a boycott of future Vivendi titles.

I kind of liked Tribes 3 and I supported the idea to use the Unreal engine despite any limitations it may have. But the failure to include bot support reduced the replay-factor considerably. And not being able to deliver even the 1.1 patch in five months is not good for the community. Maybe all of this is unfair. But Vivendi just didn’t convince people that Tribes 3 was worth investing their time in.
