In the announcement, Bulkhead Interactive stated that the game would feature dedicated servers while making use of certain anti-cheat measures. The game was released on early access on 1 February 2018, and officially released on 23 May 2019.
Controversy
Controversy
The project ended up being very controversial after the developers failed to launch the promised console versions despite selling keys for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One digital copies during the Kickstarter campaign. The development focused fully on the PC version and thousands of console gamers were left out of pocket with no game and no communication from Bulkhead. The console version was officially cancelled on August 9, 2022, with the PC version going free to play.
