Launch Date, Pricing and Charging Forwards!

[p]Hey, Renowners![/p][p]We're super excited to share that Renown officially enters Early Access on September 22 at 4pm BST / 11am EDT / 8am PDT for $24.99 USD with a 10% launch discount.[/p][p]Following our phenomenally successful crowdfunding campaigns and the awesome efforts from both our development team and you - our amazing community - we've finally reached this huge milestone. As a small studio often operating with just three core developers, this journey has tested us in every way imaginable, yet your support has made every challenge worthwhile.[/p][p]We take immense pride in what we've built together, and this is only the beginning of Renown's potential. While we know the game isn't flawless or as refined as our ultimate vision, we think we've crafted something special given our resources and tight-knit team. What we're delivering is not just genuinely entertaining, but a solid foundation that will evolve and flourish throughout the Early Access experience.[/p][p]Thank you for believing in us and being part of this adventure and do be sure to check out our latest community video below.
