The developer of Kickstarter MMO Camelot Unchained has responded to community uproar by letting backers play a live battle with 1000 NPCs.
In a livestream last week, City State Entertainment design chief Mark Jacobs announced a new game – a third-person action game with tower defense elements called Ragnarok: Colossus – and in doing so sparked an angry reaction from backers of Camelot Unchained, the spiritual successor to Jacobs’ previous game Dark Age of Camelot.
Camelot Unchained began life as a Kickstarter in 2013 and raised over $2.2m. Nearly seven years later, it is still without a release date. Backers had hoped for Camelot Unchained news from Jacobs’ livestream last week – either a release date for a beta, an update on progression or even new footage of the game in action. Neither came.
