Was looking at their Kickstarter and Steam pages and their plans are as follows and seem very optimistic:

• A seamless 35x35km open world (for comparison, Skyrim is around 6x6km)

• Third person real time combat

• Drivable vehicles

• Racing

• Physics support

• Co-op

• Car and horse customisation

• Weather affecting gameplay

• A world that changes based on your decisions

• Many different biomes

• Vertical level design

• Immersive sim elements

And as goals if funding targets are met (even though they imply that some of them are coming to the game anyway in their Steam description and gameplay footage):

• Base building

• A driveable train base

• Minigames (like fishing, arcade machines and billiards)

• A roguelike mode

• ATOM RPG Online with dedicated servers and an online exclusive storyline

• Horse companions that you can ride

• Vehicular combat

And as for timelines they plan an alpha in July, a beta in September and early access in December 2026.

I'm someone who liked ATOM RPG, ATOM RPG Trudograd and Swordhaven so don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the team and looking forward to their next project.

But I have to be honest and say I'm very concerned at the significant scope creep compared to their previous titles which seemed to be far more realistic in regards to their scale and ambition with gradual technical and gameplay advancement.

Considering Swordhaven only released out of early access 6 months ago and released a major content update only 2 weeks ago and their team is only like 15-25 people I fail to see how they have had the time or resources to develop this massive open world with all these huge game changing features at the same time.

I really want it to be as good as it seems but surely there has to be something up with this because there's just no way that it lives up to everything it's claimed to be given the circumstances.

A few questions as someone who's never been there before:

1. Are tickets physical or digital ? you buy online but how does it work ? is it with Ticketmaster ?

2. How early do you need to arrive to get a seat ? what percentage of it is seated ?

3. Is the chip van cash, card, or both ? and is it good or shite ?

4. Do you enter from the same lane as the Jodi or from the big gate on the road around the corner ?
