MMORPG Camelot Unchained may finally launch Early Access

After a decade of development, the MMORPG Camelot Unchained may finally be approaching its release. The City State Entertainment, the studio responsible for the project, announced that the game funded via Kickstarter is expected to start an Early Access period in late 2025. The announcement offers a new glimmer of hope for the community, but comes with the necessary caution due to the title's long journey.

The development history of Camelot Unchained is long and complex, dating back to 2013. The game, which generated considerable hype during its crowdfunding campaign, spent years without a concrete release date, which frustrated many of its supporters. The lack of a clear schedule has always been a point of criticism, and the new news, while positive, still carries that uncertainty.

In a recent video, project lead Mark Jacobs communicated that the team is working towards launching an Early Access later this year. He did not provide an exact date, but confirmed that the team is focused on reaching this goal by "the end of the year." The video also revealed optimizations in the "graphics and gameplay loop," offering a glimpse of the game's technical progress. The City State Entertainment also plans to expand the recruitment of testers soon, an essential step to prepare the game for the community.

The possibility for players to finally access Camelot Unchained is a significant milestone. Mark Jacobs' announcement is a sign that the project, which many helped fund over a decade ago, is moving towards its release phase. The MMORPG community now eagerly awaits the next moves from City State Entertainment and the confirmation of a definitive date.
