Developer Phodex Games has diligently worked on its indie first-person dungeon-crawling RPG Raidborn for eight years now. During that time, the team has overhauled key mechanics, introduced a wealth of new content, and expanded on its original vision for the game. It’s a hack-and-slash romp that is nearly done. After all this time, the Raidborn full release is nearly here, and with it, plenty of new enemies, quests, and equipment!
While Phodex proudly announced the upcoming 1.0 release, it didn’t yet provide an official release date. As such, as don’t know when Raidborn hits full release, but it’s coming soon.
Markus Failer, the solo developer behind Raidborn, said:
After almost eight years of development, the Legacy Update represents what I always envisioned RAIDBORN to be. It’s both a celebration of this journey and the final step into 1.0. I can’t wait for players to experience what’s next.
