Nightingale News

Greetings Realmwalkers,

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership for Nightingale! We’ll be working with Intel® to integrate their innovative technology into Nightingale, including new features and optimizing the game for Intel® GPUs. This also includes support for technology such as Intel XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) enabling more performance with high image fidelity.

On top of that, Intel® is celebrating the partnership by announcing ‘The Ultimate Realmwalker Survival Giveaway’. Starting today, November 30th, Intel® will be unveiling prizes between now and The Game Awards on December 8th - where Nightingale will feature as part of the show. Prizes will include Intel® Arc™ desktop graphics cards, Intel® Core™ desktop processors and more, including a grand prize, unveiled on December 8th.

To enter the competition and learn more, head over to intel.com/Nightingale.

We look forward to seeing you on December 8th!

Hey there Realmwalkers!

We've just released our first Dev Update video. Our community manager, Steph, talks about our current community Alpha testing, while Noel and Nick discuss what Unreal Engine 5 brings to Nightingale's development. We also answer a few community questions with Leah that cover character progression, creatures, and building basics.

Check it out and let us know what you think:

Hey Realmwalkers,

Today we have an update about Closed Alpha playtesting. Over the next few days we'll be sending out a survey, which you’ll need to complete for a chance to participate. Everyone who has signed up for our newsletter on our website will receive an email containing the survey. Sign-ups will remain open throughout the testing period.

Closed Alpha is our first phase of testing. Participants will gain access to an early, in-development experience to test specific aspects of gameplay, rather than the entire game. Future tests will expand the gameplay and player numbers.

Please read the details below for more information.

How do I apply for tests?
We’ll be sending out a survey via email to those who signed up for the newsletter. You can still sign up on our website. Keep an eye on your inbox and make sure our emails aren’t going to spam (you may want to add [email protected] to your whitelist).

When will playtests take place?
We’re coming up to our first planned playtest. If you’re successfully chosen to participate we will send you date and timing details.

How many people will be selected to test?
We will be starting with a small number of people and expanding over time.

How will you be selecting who gets into tests?
There will be several factors including but not limited to: when you signed up for the newsletter, your survey answers, your system specs, game genre preferences, and community involvement.

Can I stream/take screenshots/make content about the playtest, or discuss it online?
Not at this time. As these tests do not represent the final Nightingale experience, there will be a strict NDA in place.

What if I don’t get selected for these tests?
We’re planning more playtests leading up to launch, so please keep an eye out for future communications. You will not need to reapply for future tests.

Thanks for your support!
