Camelot Unchained Launch Window Revealed Amid City State Entertainment Rebranding
October 2021 to an abysmal turnout, so its probably a relaunch of sorts.
The announcement comes as developer City State Entertainment rebrands itself as Unchained Entertainment and receives a fresh injection of investments from A16Z Games, Island Capital, and The Lauder Family.
“The name change reflects Unchained Entertainment’s mission and focus on ushering in a new generation of truly massively multiplayer games built on its proprietary Unchained Engine, which enables real player interactions in close-quarters action, creating shared experiences of unprecedented scale.” reads the official press release.
“The Unchained Engine is realizing a dream I’ve been obsessing over for more than 30 years,” wrote President and CEO Mark Jacobs. “Our engine delivers massive battles similar to those seen in major Hollywood productions like Lord of the Rings, to video games where thousands of real players interact and share an epic experience in real time. We’re excited to launch our own games, and to share our technology with fellow dreamers in the not too-distant future.”
After a decade of working on Camelot Unchained, drama over the Final Stand: Ragnarok spinoff, and an extremely protracted refund process, the real question is whether there’ll still be enough players around when Camelot Unchained finally launches next year and will it be worth the wait?
