It’s been over 7 years since the game was announced, and after being cancelled by Riot and bought back by the original devs, against all odds it is FINALLY playable!

The game was supposed to come out in an hour but it seems the devs released it early. I’ll wait and see some early gameplay but it looks like I might buy it on launch day. Feels surreal that the wait is finally over.

    I fear that early access will kill this. Sure it will provide some money that might pay for the rest of the development, but streamers will play it now - der that it is literally work in progress in vast parts and maybe take another look once it finally releases, but the hype will be gone at the release.

      “The hype will be gone argument” seems irrelevant. This is not some live-service games. They don’t really need to be continuous growfth of fans. Almost all games with continous growth have some predatory system.

      As long their business is sustainable, they can finish continue their journey even when things get dip a bit.
