What imaginative little boy or girl doesn’t occasionally escape into the fantasy of being a grubby peasant during one of the worst pandemics in human history? Until time travel is perfected to send us back to the grand times only seen in Monty Python documentaries, we’ll have to content ourselves with playing around in the virtual much when The Black Death hits early access on April 19th.
The survival sandbox is coming along, with a recent update adding three classes, better optimization, combat improvements, and a city arena. Hey, if you’re already dying of the plague, why not fight to the death for the crowd’s entertainment? Truly, those were great times.
The developers put out a new video showing off The Black Death’s progress and what players can expect to see when they enter early access next week. Check out this pre-release update tour after the jump!
