With the early access launch of Brighter Shores planned for this fall, one big question’s on the table for this RuneScape-inspired MMO: Will it have PvP?
The answer? Yes… but not right away.
Developer Andrew Gower said that PvP is being pushed off until the official release to give it more time to bake: “Yes, Brighter Shores will have (optional) PvP. It has been something I have had in mind since Day 1, and been thinking about for years, and I have come up with some good ideas for how to make it work well.”
Gower said that he “wants to take the time to get it exactly right,” so it’s not going to happen for the initial release but will be “a very high priority feature” to work on after that.
“The plan is the game will be labelled as ‘early access’ until PvP is added,” he said. “I.E., I want to let people start playing without having to wait even longer but acknowledge it’s not quite finished at that point. There will NOT be a save reset at the end of early access.”
