Toward the end of last year, we all did the math and figured the resurrected MMORPG sandbox Dark and Light had no chance of making its original “late 2016” target. In fact, it had missed both its fall windows for launch already. That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise when in December, Snail Games admitted to a 2017 early access and full launch by the end of this year. We guessed January for the former, but nope — just a few trickles of info so far since then.
Last night, the game’s Facebook page told players it’s not dead and is in fact still planning its early access in 2017.
“Development is still going strong on Dark and Light! Right now we’re working on tuning and polishing overall graphics quality, particle effects, and animations for the Early Access launch later this year.”
There’s even a new Twitter gif of the “upgraded Blizzard spell from [the] most recent build.” Sparklies to look at while you wait for early access, anyway.
