- Network Rework Build - 16 May 2023
Hello Relic Raider players, After a long hiatus of development, we're back with a much needed fix for the state of the game. To explain what happened, Relic Raiders used a matchmaking system that allows players to queue up into a match. However, this system broke a few years ago, and we were too busy with other projects to come back and fix it. We're very sorry for the delay, but the game is now been reworked to allow for people to create custom lobbies instead, and add your friends via Steam! These changes also come with a change to pricing. The game is no longer free to play, instead offering a fixed value of 8.99 USD. Anyone that already has a copy, fear not, you will retain that copy. But moving forward we believe that this pricing model better suits the game features, being less globally focused and more about playing with your friends. We hope that you continue to enjoy our game w…

- EGLX and Post Launch Announcement - 29 October 2018
Hi everyone, Thanks to all of you we met at EGLX showing off our game! it was an intense weekend with many people showing up and also going onto the Main Stage at EGLX on Sunday to show the game off on their stream. We're humbled by the positive response we got from you all, and we are fired up to continue to give you the quality of content that got you all excited in our game in the first place. However, we also wanted to apologize to the many steam users here who downloaded the game and had trouble connecting to games all weekend while we were at the launch. While we put in a patch on Friday night to try to alleviate some of the issues, we are aware of the continued problems people have connecting to and playing games and are very focused right now on fixing those issues. In the meantime, we have lowered the amount of people needed to start a game to 2 so you can at least play if ther…

We are very happy and excited to announce that our game has finally been released for early access! Our game, the product of 2 years of hard work and love. We have done as much as we can to provide as polished and seamless process as we can for the game so that you can enjoy it to its fullest extent. That being said, this is an early access game, and what would an early access game be without bugs! We're not finished yet and we will be updating frequently to improve the game further to give you the best experience possible. As we ramp up, please be aware that matchmaking will be a bit patchy as we start to get players and that may result in longer than expected queue times. Games will start when 6 players or more join into 1 queue for the time being so you can experience the game! Partying with friends will also ensure that you are all in the same game together, although you will not be…
