Free Realms is dead — long live Free Realms Sunrise!
For the past few years, this emulator project has endeavored to return the beloved family MMORPG that ran from 2009 to 2014. While Free Realms Sunrise isn’t ready for a full-fledged release, the volunteer team behind it is excited to show off the progress that it has made on the MMO so far.
According to a short video, fully customizable characters, mounts, housing lots, emotes, and questing are all fully active. It seems to have made a big impact on the game’s alpha build.
So where’s the project at right now? “We’ve ended our closed alpha,” the team reported. “This doesn’t mean we’re entering beta, though. Now is just simply not the right time to test, while more focus is being put towards development. You can’t play something that isn’t ready, after all!”
Give the progress video a quick watch below and see if it might trigger some fond nostalgia in you!
