Dear Community, it has been roughly 3 weeks since we talked about the path that A Year of Rain will be following in the future and we are overwhelmed that those of you who tested out the changes have brought up 100% positive feedback about the new state of the game, even though they were sad, that the game won’t grow further from this point on - which is definitely understandable. None-the-less, this proves to us, that our decision to change the multiplayer system to a Peer-to-Peer System brought several positive effects with it - one of those being a visibly better performance. Even though we

We are sorry for the time of silence, though we wanted to be completely sure, that everything will work out as we decided on. This means as well, that the Update will already hit in the next 2 days.

A Year Of Rain - Hotfix Version 1.1.16736 February 2020 In case of questions, please join our Discord server.

On September 19th, we started the Closed Beta phase for A Year Of Rain. Our goal was to find bugs that we're unknown, test Matchmaking and make sure our servers offer the right performance to handle the release. Today, we're closing the Closed Beta Test and prepare for our Early Access Release on November 6th, 2019. We're now focussing on fixing bugs you reported during the Closed Beta phase, make slight improvements based on your feedback and getting the first Campaign ready for Early Access.

Ignoring that not one of A Year Of Rain‘s screenshots contains a drop of precipitation, Daedalic Entertainment’s upcoming co-op RTS is shaping up quite nicely. They don’t make ’em like this anymore, I’ll tell you that. Warcraft 4 might not be happening anytime soon, but A Year Of Rain looks awfully like a long-lost fourth game from a world where Blizzard’s MMO explosion never happened. There’s not too long to wait to charge onto the battlefield, either. Daedalic are saddling up for an early access release on Steam this November. But come on – y
