It is December 11th, and that can only mean one thing! No, not that. Gear up that sandbox, because tomorrow Darkfall: Unholy Wars is launching right into your…no, I’m getting word that Darkfall: Unholy Wars will not be launching December 12th. In a surprise, out of nowhere, could not be seen by anyone no matter how dedicated of a gamer they are to the company and I’m not fooling anyone, am I? Yes, the company well known for sudden, last minute delays has suddenly delayed at the last minute.
Instead, Darkfall: Unholy Wars will launch at some point in January…probably.
We have come to a decision, not without much internal debate, that instead of commercial release this Wednesday as planned we are going to launch the game for playtesting first. We also believe that we owe the community a thorough explanation for this last minute decisions, so the reasons behind it are the following:
The reasons come down to a desire to have the game tested by people who will actually be playing it, over people paid to test it. Additionally, some last minute bugs and a desire to fully integrate Steam in before launch were noted. Aventurine did not expect Steam to greenlight Darkfall as quickly as it did, and the approval was very short notice.
Playtesting will begin on January 17th for pre-orders, as well as current customers who sign up for a month’s subscription.
