Post by Erik Rutins »

Hi Everyone,

You can watch the whole stream on our Youtube Channel (linked below), some great interviews on very interesting upcoming games.

https://www.youtube.com/c/MatrixGamesUK/videos

As part of this, towards the end, we briefly discussed Distant Worlds 2. Key points:

- There will be a big DW2 Reveal video similar to what we just did in today's stream in January.
- DW2 is official entering Beta in January
- Beta Recruitment for DW2 will begin in January, offering an opportunity for the public to participate for the first time in helping with the final development and testing of DW2.

Regards,

- Erik

The beta test will have multiple "waves", each limited in size. We can only handle so much feedback at a time!
