[h2]The wait is coming to an end.[/h2]

After a demanding 7-year marathon, and fine-tuning through 5 different remakes, we're thrilled to announce that BattleBit Remastered is finally ready to step into [h2]Early Access June 2023![/h2]

We started off as gamers with a dream to create a feature-rich game that we loved in other games. As a result, we started working on BattleBit with little prior game development experience, zero budget, and community. You have witnessed firsthand the dedication and effort we put into making this game a reality.

We truly appreciate all the backing you've given us, this day wouldn't be near possible without the support we have received!

[h3]Hello everyone![/h3]

A Stress Test will take place Saturday, May 20th! You can find the necessary playtest info and times below.

We have some exciting news to share with you regarding BattleBit's official anti-cheat.
We've made the decision to switch from EAC to FACEIT Anti Cheat. While this is very exciting for us, there is a small problem. While we would love to distribute FaceIt's server-side anti-cheat to our community-hosted servers, there are legal restrictions in place that prevent us from doing so. FACEIT prefers to keep its server-side anti-cheat private to keep it secure and not exposed, rather than publicly available for security reasons.

Therefore, we will continue supporting EAC, allowing our community-hosted servers to use it. For Community Servers that would like to make use of FACEIT Anti Cheat for their Server, it will be available only when renting from one of our Partnered rental server providers.

We'll be sharing more details about early access, events, and updates starting next week. For now, thank you all, and see you soon!
