A playtest is underway for Renown to help prepare RDBK Studios' action/adventure for its impending Early Access launch. You can request access on Steam, but this post refers to the playtest as an "open demo," suggesting that everyone will be automatically accepted. It offers an Open Demo Developer Update Video discussing the news, and says: "We’re thrilled to announce the long-awaited news you’ve all been patiently waiting for, along with a short developer update discussing some of the changes!" Here's a description of the game:
Renown takes the most enjoyable and popular aspects from contemporary open-world survival games which include Building, Progression and Social Politics. These are then combined with close quarters, skill-based combat to create an immersive and engaging multiplayer experience.
