    This is basically update to a number of earlier Crowfall threads (long live search box!), couple recent videos. Quick intro to this medieval fantasy PvP MMORPG would be "Game of Thrones meets EVE Online" (this is kinda official) or RTS meets EVE meets Minecraft (my free interpretation) or...say, IGN Wiki.

    Another strange thing is, frequent changes of sex/class/race are likely - account and progression are tied to crow-spirit, not the body. Also, players will be building personal/guild kingdoms by playing Tetris!

    Before massive battles with hundreds of players, building structures and economy make it into the game, it currently looks rather like MOBA than anything else. Now, alpha access is expensive (as I type this, $100 or more!) but open beta = free tests are scheduled for "summer 2017", requiring only registration on the site. Here are some videos, starting with TheLazyPeon's recent preview:





    In my opinion, the success or failure of indies such as this (or Camelot Unchained, Shroud of the Avatar...not to mention "indie" Star Citizen) is crucial for the future of genre, since not much seems to be happening on the AAA level.

    ...and this is what happens when you mix Van Helsing with guinea pig (!) and give it stealth:
