Most of our readers (and viewers of our Stream Team) are familiar with AdventureQuest 3D, but there is another game from the IP that’s in development known as AdventureQuest Worlds: Unity, a side-scrolling 2-D edition of the MMORPG that effectively is a reboot of the original MMO. The devs at Artix Entertainment have been working on what’s called “the omni project” to make the game cross-platform compatible for PC and mobile devices, and this past Friday the team took a big step to that goal with the official opening of the game’s Steam page.
AQ2D promises a game that gives players the freedom to “be whatever [their] heart desires,” with weekly updates, over 100 classes, over 10,000 weapons, and “absolutely crazy storylines,” while a related dev blog notes that the game is functional on a Steam Deck but needs some specific adjustments, so a release on that platform is possible, though the post also notes that “[the devs] need to finish the core game first.”
AQ2D’s Steam page notes a release window of sometime in 2023, but the game can be added to a wishlist now, and testing of the PC version is planned through Steam’s test play feature. Additionally, the post confirmed that AQ2D would be opening up a Kickstarter, with backers being granted early access; timing for the crowdfunding campaign was not announced.
