Camelot Unchained – the new ultimate PvP MMORPG?
- What is Camelot Unchained? Fans say: “This is the spiritual successor to the classic Dark Age of Camelot.” Many see it as the ultimate PvP MMORPG. The game’s head, Marc Jacobs, denies this and wants his baby to be seen as a modern PvP MMORPG that offers gigantic medieval fantasy battles: with more participants than in ESO or DAOC.
- How has the development gone so far? Not so rosy. Camelot Unchained wanted to create its own engine with a small team but had trouble finding programmers. Development stalled. A beta was announced several times but never arrived. However, the team is a model of transparency and openness. Once the crowdfunding money ran out, they did not sell in-game goodies to backers, but the head injected his own money into the game. Last good news: A financial boost of 7.5 million US dollars has breathed new life into the project.
Can Camelot Unchained reach and impress its target audience?
- What is Camelot Unchained at its best? A PvP MMORPG where 2000 players hit each other over the head with maces and it performs well, even if it doesn’t break new ground in presentation.
- What is Camelot Unchained at its worst? The game, its team, and the story behind it are so likable that you don’t want to think about it. But one thing is clear: PvP MMORPGs need a vibrant player base to survive. Camelot Unchained will only succeed if it reaches and impresses its relatively small target audience.
- What is planned for 2018? Camelot Unchained actually started in 2018 into a beta. On July 31, it finally went into its first closed beta after another delay. However, this is a “real closed beta”, with all its quirks and flaws. This is how you can participate in the beta.
