Der Entwickler Radical Forge hat den Release von Southfield auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben. Hier das Statement dazu:
Dear Southfield Community,
With a heavy heart, we must announce the postponement of the Southfield launch, originally scheduled for Monday, June 24th.
We have been working tirelessly to ensure that Southfield meets the high standards that our community deserves. However, it has become clear that we cannot achieve this without compromising the health and well-being of our team. Therefore, we have made the difficult decision to delay the launch.
We understand how disappointing this news is, and we share in your frustration. We know how much anticipation and excitement has built up around Southfield, and we are deeply committed to delivering a product that lives up to the high expectations of our dedicated community.
Thank you for your continued patience and support during this challenging time. This is an incredibly hard decision for us to make, but we are confident it will lead to us making the game something truly special and that reflects that passion we’ve felt since the announcement from you.
We are grateful for your understanding and remain committed to keeping you informed with any new developments.
Sincerely,
Radical Forge and the Southfield Team
Ursprünglich angedachter Release:
Der Entwickler Radical Forge hat den Release von Southfield fixiert. Die Koop-Sandbox erscheint somit 24. Juni 2024 auf dem PC via Steam als Early Access-Variante:
„We’re so hyped to finally announce the official release date of Southfield”, said Bruce Slater, CEO and co-founder of Radical Forge. „The team has been amazing, every one of them, pulling out all the stops to make our game stand out.“
Closed Beta gestartet:
Der Entwickler Radical Forge wird eine Closed Beta zu ihrer Koop-Sandbox Southfield abhalten. Gespielt werden kann ab 21. Mai und bis zum 31. Mai 2024.
Neue Koop-Sandbox angekündigt
Der Entwickler Radical Forge hat mit Southfield sein erstes eigenes Spiel angekündigt. Bisher war man als Co-Entwickler für Spiele tätig, zum Beispiel bei Gang Beasts und Sea of Thieves. Die Sandbox kann sowohl alleine oder maximal zu viert im Koop-Modus erlebt werden. Was wir darin machen bleibt letztlich uns überlassen. Wir können Farming betreiben, Gebäude aufbauen, Tiere fangen und Maschinen aufstellen. Das Spiel selbst soll in 2024 auf dem PC via Steam (Early Access) erscheinen und wird im Februar während des kommenden Steam Next Fest (Demo) spielbar sein.
“Southfield is the culmination of a huge amount of imagination, trial and error, and sheer hard work by the Radical Forge team. We wanted to create an ambitious, silly farming game with ridiculous characters in a fantastical world.” said Bruce Slater, CEO and Game Director
„Most of all, we wanted to build an island that generates fun’. And now we can get it into Early Access and see what you think. For me, this is where the game will take on a new life, and the players will take it in directions we can’t even imagine.”
