SUBJECT: The fate of DUSKFALL is in your hands!

ATTENTION ALL DUSKLIGHTERS!

We, the new & old management teams of MANIK PIX-E, want to thank you for your years of dedication to DUSKFALL. This community has stuck with the land of Nerthus despite some tremendous setbacks. Your patience and help with stomping out bugs, developing key features, and making this incredible, talented community has truly inspired us all.

We understand many of you lost hope for DUSKFALL. This journey has been a rough one. There were moments even we thought this day would never arrive. But it has. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that… We lied to you.

Two years ago, when we announced MANIK PIX-E’s impending bankruptcy, we didn’t know it was a lie. The paperwork was filed, the lights were cut. It looked like the end.

But thanks to a very special fan who had the money and guts enough to invest in a future they could see so clearly on the horizon, we kept the doors ajar. Instead of retracting our previous announcement we made a tactical retreat to our underground, radio silent indie roots.

This is what we’ve been working our asses off to accomplish.

In three months, on October 2, 2030, all third-party DUSKFALL servers will shut down.

We are rolling back all licensing rights to the alpha releases, and instead bringing you one worldwide, massive, online multiplayer VR experience of DUSKFALL PRIME.

For two months the DUSKFALL PRIME beta server will be open exclusively to those who purchased early access up through the beta’s release. With this final push, 2031 should see the official opening of DUSKFALL PRIME’s long anticipated full-release.

We know we’ve asked a lot of you these past few years, but we also know you love this project as much as we do—maybe even more. We hope we can count on you to join us as we end this adventure, and begin something far greater.
