Statement to TRIBES Community

To the TRIBES Community:

After the recent announcement regarding
Sierra’s strategic reorganization, many are aware that Dynamix has been closed
and the development of TRIBES has been relocated to Sierra’s Bellevue studio.
Long time veteran of the gaming industry, Producer Rod Fung, will be heading up
TRIBES development and moving the franchise forward. Rod has been with Sierra
for over eleven years, most notably producing the award-winning SWAT titles for
the company. Rod will be assembling a TRIBES development team consisting of
experienced game developers, including talent from the original TRIBES 2 team.

The transition will be seamless and
transparent for our TRIBES fans. Both TRIBES and TRIBES 2 are currently among
the top five online action games and fans can expect the same level of
dedication that they have received in the past. The Bellevue based development
team has long-term visions and plans for the TRIBES games and is dedicated to
continuing traditions of the franchise.

More immediately, work continues on an
upcoming TRIBES 2 patch and a playable demo. The authentication servers are up,
the IRC servers will continue as they are and the forums on TRIBES2.com are
strong and thriving.

Please stay tuned for what is to come as
Sierra focuses on continuing and growing the TRIBES franchise and its community.
