They now have two in development games with no ship date instead of just one. If that isn’t the ultimate in feature creep, I don’t know what is. It is named Colossus or Ragnarok or something… it isn’t clear… and boy was it a surprise. With nobody holding them to their plans they do as they please.Īnd then yesterday Mark Jacobs told the world in an interview over at Massively OP that his company, City State Entertainment, has been working on another game for the last half of a year. Even their previous games were failures that they blamed on their corporate overlords, but now that they run the show the projects keep spinning out into infinity and you start to feel their overlords might have had a point.

Ragnarok: Colossus is free for those who backed Camelot Unchained, but that fact has done little to calm discontent from those who are still waiting for Camelot Unchained to come out seven years after it was successfully Kickstarted.The thing that kind of separated the ongoing bullshit that comes out of Chris Roberts around Star Citizen and Camelot Unchained was that at least the latter had not gone down the rampant feature creep path.īecause, otherwise, there are a lot of similarities between the two projects… and the two personalities. Others will be happy because they will get to play an additional game besides CU that they are not being charged for, and they'll be especially happy if they like PvE games." Viewers were less than impressed by the reveal of Ragnarok: Colossus. And, if something is part of the engine, that means it's part of CU. Some will be angry, some will be 'Whatever, as long as we get CU,' and others will be happy, as they will see all the good stuff that is now part of the engine. "I think that people will react the way people always react to things. MassivelyOP then asked Jacobs: are you expecting folks to be angry? "That, in turn, resulted in work that will speed up the remainder of CU's development, as well as add things that weren't planned for CU at launch," Jacobs said. In an interview with MassivelyOP, Jacobs said City State Entertainment began work on Ragnarok: Colossus in July 2019, and it sparked investment in the studio from its investors that meant the team was expanded. Neither came.ĭuring the reveal of Ragnarok: Colossus, Jacobs insisted the developers had made significant progress on Camelot Unchained, and tech work done for Ragnarok: Colossus has already benefited Camelot Unchained.
#Camelot unchained release date update#
Nearly seven years later, it is still without a release date.īackers had hoped for Camelot Unchained news from Jacobs' stream - either a release date for a beta, an update on progression or even new footage of the game in action.

It's a third-person action game with tower defense elements that sees hundreds of enemies on the battlefield. In a YouTube stream, City State Entertainment design chief Mark Jacobs revealed co-op PVE game Ragnarok: Colossus. The developer of Camelot Unchained has announced a new game.
