The short version

  • "Even if you don't get in right away, we'd love for you to join the conversation around ReVamp as we let more players in.
  • We hope to open the public playtest around January.
  • To everyone who requested access here on Steam: we're sorry for the change of plans, and thank you for your patience," the studio added.
