With Rift already doing well and two more MMOs on the horizon, Trion Worlds is growing well for an independent developer and publisher. Things are going so well, that an initial public offering may be in the cards for the company.
"As we build scale and become more profitable, (an IPO) is clearly on our horizon at some point," Chief Executive Lars Buttler told Reuters, declining to provide details on a time frame.
"We've had a lot of bankers coming to us recently. We keep all of our options open at this point. We definitely have enough substance and enough skill to be a public company at the right time."
Buttler confirmed that the company has not hired any investment bankers yet, and current market conditions are making it difficult to take companies public.
Trion recently announced its “Red Door” technology platform to allow other developers to quickly create online titles.
