Broken Sun is an ambitious MMORPG set in a fantasy world, developed by Redneck Studio from Saint Petersburg. A relatively large team is working on the project, with over 200 specialists involved.

According to the studio's press release, the Broken Sun team includes former employees of VK, Wargaming, Battlestate Games, 1C Game Studios, and many other gaming companies.
For comparison: according to the MobyGames portal, the creation of Allods Online involved just under 400 people, and about the same number contributed to Prime World.
Broken Sun will be Redneck Studio’s debut game. Reports indicate that the game has been in development for about three years and is nearing completion. It is being developed on the Unity engine, with character animations created using motion capture technology. The game's budget has not been publicly disclosed, but developers claim that graphically, it will rival A-level projects.
According to Redneck Studio, they aim to "revive the spirit of 'old-school' browser games" from the 2000s, like "Legend: Legacy of the Dragons" or "Fighters’ Club." This primarily refers to the combat and clan systems in the game.
Broken Sun will be fully released on PC, including browsers, and on mobile devices in 2025, though an early look at the game will be available. The closed beta test is set to begin on December 2, 2024.
