One year has passed since we announced Grey Eminence to the world! The past 365 days have truly been a rollercoaster, but the one constant has been your unwavering support and faith in our vision for the historical grand strategy genre.

The year was certainly not without challenges – and we had to make many difficult choices along the way. But we remain resolute in the face of adversity and have embraced this challenge wholeheartedly. Over the past two months we have made tremendous progress on the development side and it is therefore with great pleasure that I would like to announce Grey Eminence’s upcoming Closed Alpha!

Watch a preview of the alpha and its gameplay here:

Access to the alpha is the first of the unannounced rewards for members of our Patreon! Specifically, to gain access you must have maintained your subscription long enough to obtain a copy of the game at release and you must have an active subscription (at any tier). To set some clear expectations: the alpha is at least a couple of months away, depending on what resources we have to work with. However, we’re optimistic about the current state of affairs – and, crucially, we still aren’t ruling out a 2023 release date for the game.

Thank you for staying with us throughout this challenging year! We’re looking forward to getting Grey Eminence in your hands – and until then, we hope you’ll be able to tide yourselves over with our monthly dev diaries, whose release will resume March 4.
