Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “Early Access Will End in April 2020.”
Worth getting before it becomes a paid-for game.
Dear Valiant Supporters of Avalon,
We stand on the threshold of a new era for “Avalon Lords: Dawn Rises.” As we venture forward with the reimagining of our beloved game, we are shifting from a free-to-play model to a paid experience. This strategic change is a stepping stone towards the grand re-release we’ve all been working towards—a completely rebuilt and enhanced version of Avalon Lords.
In preparation for this momentous occasion, we will cease further distribution of the game. This means that very soon, Avalon Lords will no longer be available for purchase or download until its re-emergence, reborn from the ashes of its former glory.
Fear not, for those who have already joined the ranks of Avalon, your license keys will be preserved, granting you uninterrupted access to the evolving world we are crafting with care and dedication. Your early support and feedback have been invaluable, and we invite you to continue this journey with us, providing insights that shape the destiny of Avalon.
For those who yearn to be part of this journey, the window remains open but draws swiftly to a close. Secure your place in the annals of Avalon in the next few days before we make the switch.
The upcoming early access re-release lays the foundation of a transformed Avalon, offering a taste of the full game to come. Experience the Dawn faction’s might and the narrative depths of Chapter 1, setting the stage for the ultimate campaign.
Looking beyond, the full game release will unleash the entire campaign and introduce the playable Darkness faction in multiplayer, a nemesis you’ll confront in the single-player saga.
We eagerly anticipate your continued feedback and insights as we refine and perfect the game. Your voice has been and will always be crucial in the evolution of Avalon Lords.
Stand with us as we prepare for the rebirth of a legend. For Avalon, for glory!
