Press release:
The Cary-based (North Carolina, the US) indie games developer Unlit Games are today very happy and excited to announce that their action-packed VR online RPG, “Redemption’s Guild” is now available for PC via Steam EA.

It is an action-packed (1-4 player co-op) RPG designed from the ground up for VR. You’ll experience pure immersion, adventuring through open-world zones, battling waves of enemies in daunting Arenas, or sleuthing for loot in labyrinthine dungeons.

Why Early Access?
The team at Unlit Games are striving to create a fun game with minimal bugs. We must allow users to play the game and share their feedback to achieve this. It also gives us additional multiplayer development time to ensure the player experience is smooth before the full release.

How long will this game be in Early Access?
The full launch is planned for February 2023.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?
Early Access includes:

5 classes to master: Rogue, Knight, Elementalist, Berserker, and Cleric
Over 100 unique pieces of equipment to collect with class sets having 6 different color variations
20 levels to achieve in each class
Hundreds of account rank levels to achieve
Dynamic combat, the AI will dodge attacks, heal, lure players into ambushes, and much more
2 massive Adventure zone maps: Vohril’s Stand and Areda Dunes
Hub area – Tilnu Tavern
Areda Arena with multiple waves to fight through
A full, procedurally-generated labyrinth underneath the Tilnu Tavern. Every play-through is unique
Questing in both adventure zones

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
We plan to add throughout the Early Access development:

Online co-op across all game modes
New class
New quest type

About the developer:

Unlit Games is a team of 13 talented professionals, both newcomers and AAA devs from companies like Ubisoft, EA, RockStar Games, and Icarus Studios. We follow the dream of our leader, Michael Lepard. Back in 2016, he had one idea for a game that he just couldn’t stop thinking about, he would stay up all night writing down ideas and thinking of making them a reality, a virtual one! He brought on a programmer and an artist and started to build a prototype for one of the first VR Online RPGs. Thus Redemption’s Guild was born.

He posted a YouTube video online showing off his ideas and it became an overnight success. Over the course of one night, thousands of people had watched the prototype video and Reddit was buzzing about the idea of a VR Online RPG. Michael then knew what he had to do, so he called up his old buddy Derek and started working on Redemption’s Guild.
