Hey everyone!

The Graphics Update is now live! We've also made a new trailer for the game, which you can check out below.

To celebrate the release, the game is now also on sale. If you haven't tried out Necesse yet, then now is the perfect time to dive into the fresh new look the Graphics Update has brought! You could even bring a friend or two 🥳🎉

We started working on this update over a year ago, when I hired two awesome artists who couldn't wait to take Necesse to the next level! It's been a wild year, filled with passion and dedication from the team, but now we're finally ready to share our hard work with you - and we can't wait for you to try it out!

This also means our artists are no longer playing catch-up with the content updates, so you can expect faster/larger content updates in the future :D

We will of course be looking at feedback and fixing any issues that come up in the coming hours and days. So please don't hesitate to reach out if you find anything! :)

Below the trailer, you can also check out the changelog containing all the changes coming with the Graphics Update.

Hey everyone!

I am happy to finally announce that the long awaited Graphics Update is releasing on August 10th!
Mark the date and message your friends, because it will feel like a completely new game! :D

1 year ago I started to expand Fair Games which included hiring two awesome artists that could take the overall look of Necesse to the next level. After having redrawn over 3298 original assets, we’re finally ready to share our hard work with you.

Shoutout to our artists Bo & Oliver and of course the rest of the Fair Games team. It’s been a crazy year, and we’re just getting started.

We've made a brand new trailer showcasing the new art and announcement in full action. Check it out at the bottom of this post :D

If you haven't noticed, a few months ago we started to be more active on our social media channels, posting teasers and interacting with you! We will be posting more teasers in the days up to the 10th:
