Mark Jacobs Says Final Stand: Ragnarok Might Be on Consoles Too; Camelot Unchained to Be Shown Later This Year

A few days ago, Unchained Entertainment (previously known as City State Entertainment) re-emerged after a long slumber and revealed that Final Stand: Ragnarok would re-launch on Steam Early Access this Thursday, while Camelot Unchained, the original MMORPG project devised by the studio, would come out in late 2025.

There are five phases in total, each one progressively more difficult. In pure arcade style, players will also find plenty of power-ups to pick up across the battlefield that boost your health and damage. Moreover, there are consumable pickups like bombs,
