Tomorrow we officially open the Open Beta of Lootbound.
You’ve been with us through playtests, feedback waves, balance changes, and countless improvements. Open Beta is the result of all that collaboration.
We focused on three core areas: combat feel, usability, and clarity.
Balance and AI
Gameplay and Content
Clarity and Usability
The demo goes live tomorrow.
