This year will mark Project Warlock's seventh birthday meaning it can now write, do simple chores and can legally get to play Minecraft, Rayman Legends and Sackboy: The Big Adventure, but sadly not Stardew Valley, Hogwarts Legacy and Stray. Not to mention, Project Warlock cannot in good conscience be allowed to play Wolfenstein 3D (PEGI 12), Hexen (PEGI 12) and let's not even start on the 1993 Doom (17+). Guess those three will have to wait.
We're still due for a proper nostalgia trip further down the line, as December launch anniversary comes closer, but for now - a couple of important updates.
1. Project Warlock II - Leaving Early Access May 28th
After a long and tumultous development that went places we never intended it to go, Project Warlock II is leaving Early Access in two weeks - that's May 28th. So if you were withholding on playing the game while it was being constructed midflight you might want to stretch those arms, crack fingers and dust off that mousepad as this is when the game officially drops. We plan to keep expanding the game and deliver some more or less surprising features after the launch.
2. Project Warlock: 90% Off Biggest Discount Yet + Upcoming Patch Info
Project Warlock will soon receive an update to some of the most annoying issues brought over by the community.

3. Project Warlock: Lost Chapters Development Update
We've been keeping that one close to the chest, as Project Warlock II went on to occupy roughly 25 hours per day in the last few months, but we're now ready to show some of the designs you can expect to take your blunderbuss and parrot to. Pa... WHAT?
The game is in active development, with extra team members working on the art and level design making sure Lost Chapters strikes back in the heart of the nostalgia that the original Warlock did. We're planning to have the game out sooner rather than later, but more on that in the coming months. Stay tuned and in the meantime - wishlist and follow Project Warlock: Lost Chapters here.
