Dear Rally Racers,

We’re officially 30 days away from the full launch of Old School Rally — the critically-acclaimed retro rally racer leaving Early Access and arriving as Version 1.0 December 4th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 & 4, and PC via Steam.

Since the start of Early Access, our dev at Frozen Lake Games, together with Astrolabe Games, has been refining handling, stages, AI, UI, and overall polish with your feedback at the core. The upcoming 1.0 full release brings together our post-EA content expansion and key feature updates, delivering the most complete and authentic throwback rally experience yet — made for both hardcore rally fans and players who just love the bite of classic arcade-era racing.

At the same time, we have the physical editions of Old School Rally coming out in EU (releases on the same day) and NA (at a slightly later time)!

Excited? Then check out the all-new trailer now to help with the itch!

Hello Heroes! Twitch Drops are coming to Blade & Soul Heroes for the November Update!

Earn in-game rewards just by watching your favorite streamers play Blade & Soul Heroes and hanging out with community on Twitch. We’re keeping the fun going all update long!

Every week, we’ll be posting a new article with a new set of Twitch drops, so stay tuned to see what’s coming next. Check below to see what’s coming in Week 1.

Week 1 Duration: November 4 – November 11

Twitch Drops Notes:

• When you claim your drop rewards on Twitch, please return to the title screen and relog to receive them in your in-game mail. If you experience any issues with your drops, please contact our customer support team.

We’ve just released Build 0.543, a major impact update that completely rewires the game’s UI from the ground up.
This includes updates to nearly every element: buttons, scrollbars, input fields, and more.

• Full UI Rewrite; the entire interface has been rebuilt for stability and scalability.

• Improved Layout & Scaling; UI should now adapt better to different resolutions and aspect ratios.

• Quality-of-Life Enhancements; input responsiveness, scrollbar consistency, and general polish.

Tip: If your resolution or ratio feels off, you can access UI scale controls in the Dev UI (press F8) to tweak things. This isn’t a supported feature yet, but it can help smooth out display issues.

This update lays the foundation for the new UI going forward, and we’d love your feedback.
Please test every part of the interface; every button, input, and corner of the menu; and let us know what’s working and what isn’t.

This is a demo build which is on a beta branch, and so it must be activated. Learn how to do that here:

Hi all!

I am beginning a new round of private playtesting. Playtesters will get access to an early, incomplete build of the game where they will be able to test out content in the game and provide feedback for difficulty, QoL features, and more!

I'd love to get your feedback on new changes and content, so feel free to sign up for the private playtest by filling out this interest form!

Interest Form

Hey, Survivor!

Our dev team’s been keeping an eye on all your talks over on Steam, Discord, and other places.

We’ve noticed a lot of great feedback about MIMESIS, especially about the things that feel inconvenient and the features you’d like to see added.

Among those, there are two big requests that we agree are top priority.

• Save/Load Feature

  You’ll soon be able to save and load your progress.

• Public Matchmaking

  We’re adding a public matchmaking feature so anyone can easily form a party and play together.

Both of these features are currently under development and internal testing,

and we’re working hard to get them out to you as soon as possible.

(We might need your help testing them, so we’d really appreciate your support!)

We’ll share more details on the update schedule once it’s ready.

Oh, and you didn’t forget about Steam reviews, right? ːsteamthumbsupː

If you had a good time playing, please leave us a review on Steam!

Every bit of feedback means a lot to us and really keeps us going.

Attention Pilots:

A no-downtime client update arrives on November 5 at 11:30 AM (UTC+8). Keep playing as usual—simply update your client to access the latest version. Logged-in players won't be affected.
