The perpetual saga of Camelot Unchained continues its unpredictable journey today, with developers preparing to unveil fresh updates.
For those needing context: Initially crowdfunded in 2013 as an RvR successor to Dark Age of Camelot, the project led by ex-Mythic executive Mark Jacobs has weathered numerous storms. After entering beta in 2018, the studio faced controversy over refund disputes and diverted attention to a secondary project. Despite securing $15M in funding and launching Final Stand: Ragnarok, the team encountered further turbulence with significant layoffs and a development reboot described as taking the game “down to the studs.” April’s preview video generated mixed reactions among backers.
The team now prepares to showcase current progress through today’s livestream. “[J]oin us Thursday, August 7th at 3:00 PM EST for a livestream with MJ on Twitch,” announced developers via Discord, promising “a new video of the game” and development updates.
