ETA: Unknown
NDA Lift: 12th Feb
AU Servers: Soon(tm)

• 11 classes
• Duos and Squads confirmed
• On Epic's games store, not on steam

Very early in the piece, but its twitchy and the graphics are on point from what I can see

 

Now that sounds like something I could get on board with. Totally different.

 

That looks really friggin cool except for the battle royal part

 

BR rocks, it adds so many variables and such intensity that no other mode comes close to. There is a reason its popular.

The issue however is BR requires insane player counts to last.. and great BR games have come and gone due to low player counts, not cause it sucked but poor marketing/market saturation.

I wish this one well but I think itl be another Islands of Nyne with no players.

 

"We'll be adding more regional servers soon! We definitely have plans for one that will better serve the players in your region." - an official response to a NZ gamer who have just bought a pre-alpha key.

Soon(tm)!

 

Nothing much new... but here is an introductory video...

 

so fortnite - building + magic = spellbreak ?

 

fortnite - building + magic + classes = spellbreak

Oceanic servers are currently being tested \o/

 

I think i registered for the alpha...i think

 

looks interesting!
Don't get how battle royale adds to the game though, what do you pick up off the ground? spells?
I.e. couldn't just TDM work, or other game modes?
To me what's most interesting about it is simply the gameplay, not the battle royale mode

 

Battle Royale is just the in thing. Easy for anybody to pick up and just enough luck to keep it interesting for all skill levels.

 

anyone else register for the alpha?

 

Gauntlets and runes I think. Which can be combined in various ways.

From what I understand other games are coming - ie standard arena fps modes, but lets face it... br is the mainstream play atm with Epic and its 200mil Fortnite players.

Yes - completely agree.



Edit: still from the above video showing loot from a kill... gauntlets, runes and amulets. Can't see why they wouldn't add potions at some point.

 

Hey, i got an email with a closed alpha key and a date of Feb 12 for the NDA lift! You can actually play the game right now just can't share anything before Feb 12.

 

the NDA has been lifted meaning you can stream spellbreak

 

Cute emergent behaviour...



And in other news, the developers are moving the game from their own launcher to Epic's game launcher and presumably their store.

 

I got my alpha key the other day also... yay.
