In a recent update posted on Reddit, game director Shaun Rivera revealed that the scheduled playtest, originally set for next month, would now be substituted with a smaller version. Rivera noted that developers are focused on building the necessary infrastructure to steadily roll out the game, aimed at bringing in more players later this year.

“We’ve seen and enjoyed the crazy memes and the hysteria of the subreddit while waiting for the Feb update, and want to correct some of the misinformation going around,” Rivera stated. Translation: “We have observed the memes and excitement on Reddit while waiting for the February update, and we want to clarify some misinformation that has circulated.”
