And that's something else we are currently working on." I wanted to have something else to show you first. "Maybe if I hadn't done the dumb in the way the announcement went off I wouldn't have shown you this yet. This is something we've all wanted to play in if you like sieges. "I know it's been hard to hear us constantly talk about delays and building tech, but this is the result. But nobody else can do what we can do - not in this way. "I know it's been a long time," Jacobs said. However, Jacobs is yet to announce a release window for Camelot Unchained. We see trebuchets, magic mortars and mages all throwing projectiles back and forth as a 9.4m destructible block keep slowly crumbles. Responding to the concern, Jacobs outlined the various work that had been done on Camelot Unchained, showed a video of the Cherry Keep battle dated May 2019, and then invited backers to play the latest build of the game live - with over 100 players joining 1000 NPCs at one point. Not a death threat or two, but a lot of nastiness directed my way. "Over the last week there's been a lot of concern, a lot of anger. In a new stream, a tearful Jacobs apologised for the way he announced Ragnarok: Colossus, admitting: "It's been a week!" The Camelot Unchained community reacted negatively to the events, with some calling for refunds.
#CAMELOT UNCHAINED BETA RELEASE DATE UPDATE#
Backers had hoped for Camelot Unchained news from Jacobs' livestream last week - either a release date for a beta, an update on progression or even new footage of the game in action. Nearly seven years later, it is still without a release date. In a livestream last week, City State Entertainment design chief Mark Jacobs announced a new game - a third-person action game with tower defense elements called Ragnarok: Colossus - and in doing so sparked an angry reaction from backers of Camelot Unchained, the spiritual successor to Jacobs' previous game Dark Age of Camelot.Ĭamelot Unchained began life as a Kickstarter in 2013 and raised over $2.2m. The developer of Kickstarter MMO Camelot Unchained has responded to community uproar by letting backers play a live battle with 1000 NPCs.
