Star Vault have announced that their upcoming Mortal Online 2, a sequel to their first-person super sandbox MMO (that is somehow almost a decade old), will enter Steam Early Access in late 2020.

RPS Beta Army, you are hereby required to conquer Mortal Online, which goes into open beta today. "But what is Mortal Online?" Well, I've only gone and answered that particular inquiry over at Eurogamer by performing the ritual of the preview ritual here. In it I explain: Mortal, being developed by Swedish studio StarVault, is focused on creating an experience that lives up to the…
