Dear Operators,
First of all, we wish you a very happy 2026! This year will be a pivotal one for Black One Blood Brothers, and I can’t wait to share more with you very soon. For 2026 to be a success, your role as a community will be crucial: your feedback, suggestions, ideas, and honest, constructive criticism give me the opportunity to include your voice directly in the game.
And it starts right now: the second playtest to prepare the migration to Unreal Engine 5.7 will begin next week.
Thanks to the feedback from the first session, I was able to fix, optimize, and improve the game’s features, as well as add new elements you suggested. First and foremost: voice commands, which you’ll be able to try out during this second playtest. They greatly improve accessibility and immersion: if you want to stay at the heart of the action and react instantly to the unexpected, it’s now possible.
This second playtest will give you the opportunity to explore the latest additions and experience the optimizations of this migration, along with the most recent fixes. Your feedback is essential to the game’s progress, and I’m excited to present this new version of Black One Blood Brothers to you.
Participants from the first session are automatically included in this one: no need to sign up again.
To take part, head over to the Discord to get access to the form that will help determine your setup and playstyle, then receive your access starting next Monday, January 12, at 6 PM (Paris time). Whether or not you have experience testing video games, you’re welcome!
Helios, out.
