Playtest News

We have news about the planned playtest for you:
The playtest will take place as announced. Start: 22th of april 2022 9:00pm CEST

A lot has happened since the last playtest and we hope you are looking forward to it.
Unfortunately, the multiplayer cannot be activated at the start yet, because the current state of the rework is only about 80%.

Since no multiplayer will be active on the weekend, the playtest will be extended to next week. The plan is to run the playtest until next Sunday.
This will give us the time to finish the multiplayer as planned and deliver it in time. So you still have enough time to get to know everything.

The end of the playtest will be 1st of may 2022 11:59pm CEST.

We wish you a lot of fun! And don't forget: We will also be live on Twitch.
