Speaking with Eurogamer, executive producer Craig Morrison did state that Funcom would like to bring it to consoles “at some point in the future.”

“As many other games have found, launching an MMO on a console was much more complicated than anyone had accounted for. There’s still some evolution to be done. Launching an MMO on a console was much more complicated that anyone had accounted for.

As a company we are continuing to work on console technology,now that we have a separate technology team who’s developing the Dreamworld technology independently of the games. We have a tech team here in Montreal that are not tied specifically to any of the projects: they only work on improving our platform and improving our tools.

But we still work particularly with Microsoft on looking at the technology platforms and working towards being able to have our Dreamworld technology at least working on the Microsoft consoles.”
