Pixel art MMO Necesse boasts over one million players in early access. And chickens.

It’s been quite the summer for Necesse, a retro-themed survival and crafting MMO that’s been tearing up the charts in early access. Thanks to an August graphics update that revamped over 3,200 “assets,” the title managed to cross one million players to date.

But it’s not stopping there, as Necesse teased next week’s Version 0.27 drop with the incredible edible chicken and a new plains biome.

There’s still a lot of work to be done for Necesse before it launches, though. The team identified some major projects left on the game’s roadmap, including a tutorial, a rework of the economy, and incorporating suggestions from the community.
