Retention is a single-player MMORPG simulator that launched on PC in early 2015. The game has continued to receive development attention, with recent patches aimed at recreating classic endgame raiding mechanics. Solo developer Brian Burgee has been vocal about the project's direction, including discussions around contemporary development practices and the title's ongoing path toward a 1.0 release. Meanwhile, the broader indie MMO space has seen renewed focus on player retention strategies, with similar projects like Eterspire expanding to new platforms - the latter recently announced an Apple TV launch - as developers recalibrate their roadmaps around keeping existing audiences engaged rather than purely chasing new players.
