Being 14 years in development, the F2P indie sandbox title 8bitMMO is finally ready to launch, meaning the early access concludes for the full release. Indie developer Robby Zinchak originally began working in his spare time backing 2001 to create a sandbox game that would allow all users to help jointly shape the game world. And 14 years later, 8bitMMO debuts with the brand-new PvP/PvE mode 'Transponders' where players are able to construct their base to then calling forth a raid that consists of other players and monsters.

Throughout the past few years, the game has massively evolved, featuring a player-created world that is larger than the combined landmass of the United Kingdom and reaching a fan base of already more than 650,000 registered players. The 8bitMMO community is described as small but fervent, with some gamers writing novels-worth of fan fiction, creating a 3D-printed model of their character, or in one case even getting a tattoo of the game.

8bitMMO has already won multiple awards, including Director's Choice at the Indie Prize Showcase in San Francisco, Winner of the Seattle Independent Game Competition and Best Technological Game at Tokyo Game Show's Sense of Wonder Night.
