Stormgate: Early Access Exit Raises Questions
Frost Giant Studios' decision to exit early access with Stormgate while still in development is perplexing. The announcement of a single-player campaign's release amidst confusion over its version number being 0.6 suggests a lack of readiness. While the campaign may be complete, the co-op mode and terrain editor remain in active development, indicating that the game is not fully finished. Frost Giant's new codename update system may confuse players further, as understanding the game's progress becomes less intuitive. Despite these concerns, the promise of a robust 1v1 mode is encouraging. The studio's claim of needing to attract players for ongoing development also raises financial concerns. Ultimately, the success of this launch hinges on whether the game is actually enjoyable to play. As we approach the August 5 release, anticipation builds, but trepidation lingers. Will Stormgate deliver, or will it falter once again? Only time will tell.
