The Spellcraft team, made up of former ArenaNet and En Masse devs, paused their work on the upcoming real-time tactics game to reflect on the year-that-was — and hint at big announcements to come.

“In 2023, we’re finally going to show Spellcraft to the world. To date, we’ve been admittedly a bit cagey about the game, so we haven’t shown much gameplay. With the feedback we heard from our last alpha, we’re continuing to push Spellcraft towards something we believe players will love — and this time, we think we’re ready to spread the good word.”
