Nightingale News

Heya Realmwalkers,

Have you got your eye on gamescom? So do we!

Whether you can join us physically or virtually, here's what you can expect from our gamescom activities this year:


We'll be at Opening Night Live this year with a brand-new trailer. Keep an eye out for it as the whole trailer was captured in-game and shows off a sneak peek at a brand new creature from the Faewilds.

For details on Opening Night Live and where to watch it, check out their website here.




This is the first time we'll have an appearance on the public show floor, and we're super excited about it!

Come check out our life-sized Fae Portal and take photos with Puck and Lady in Red cosplayers. Share your photos online for a chance to win some hardware, including a custom Nightingale Intel PC Desktop, Intel hardware, and Nightingale merchandise.

For contest details or just to say hi, drop by the Level Infinite booth in Hall 6.




We'll be showing off the game to media and content creators throughout the show, so keep an eye out for coverage online! We'll try to share some highlights on the platform formerly known as Twitter and over on our Discord.


We hope to see some of you there!

Realmwalkers,

After many discussions with our team, we’ve come to the decision to move the Early Access release date for Nightingale to Fall (Northern Hemisphere, Spring in the Southern Hemisphere) this year.

The reason for the shift is simple: our playtest process is working. The feedback we’ve been receiving from players has been invaluable, and the extra time will allow us to continue the progress we’ve been making without it compromising our team’s health.

We thank the community for their continued patience and support, and we look forward to sharing more of the game in the upcoming weeks and months.

For more information on the delay and game updates, please watch our latest Developer Update video:

-- ALL IMAGES ARE PRE-ALPHA --

We're back with another sneak peek into some of the behind-the-scenes updates we've implemented since the last Reflections post. The biggest news is that we had another closed alpha playtest, check our latest Dev Update video and Playtest Summary blog if you missed them.

PLAYTESTER SCREENCAPTURES (March)
Before we get into the new stuff, we promised we'd share a few more playtester screen captures with you all. So, here they are!

THE DESERT IS ALIVE
Before, the Desert Realm in Nightingale felt a little flat. Now, however, the desert has endless sand dunes which help the Realm feel more alive and affected by the elements.

Another thing that we are super excited about is that apart from the physical landscape improvements, we have also added heat haze and mirages!

The Desert Realm is feeling much more fleshed out and immersive with these new implementations and we hope it translates to the players when exploring this Realm.

INTERESTING POINTS
To inspire a sense of exploration in players and provide some clues to a Realm's history, we are adding more Points of Interest (POI). Some expand the visual aspect of the Realm, while others may contain additional gameplay elements or lore. We look forward to you finding them all in the future!


WARM WELCOME
We've added some new creatures in-game! We will be going into more detail on our social posts in the future but, as a first introduction, here they are:

PIHRAT CAATYNE HEXHAM MONGREL
As a special highlight, here is a peek at Hexham Mongrel's floppy ears as it walks!


BUG OF THE MONTH
Ever wonder what a Harpy's insides look like? Well, one unlucky developer found out. And while this view may be gone from inside of the game, it will forever live on in our memories....and as a Custom Emoji in our work Slack.

Heya Realmwalkers!

Yesterday we released a brand new Developer Update where we talk about the last playtest and our plan for the next while,
