Hey everyone, I think it’s that time again…

FREE FOR ALL

RR:ANS will be free on launch, free after launch, free on 1.0, free forever. And again. No microtransactions!

IMPORT YOUR ROOMS AND AVATARS

Using the SDK that's coming this December, you can import rooms and they will be added straight to your account! (Avatars must be requested to be imported.)

NEW OUTFITS & TIERS

You can expect a handful of new avatar items after launch. Before we talk about this, let's talk about rarities.

Same as the original, but… there are new tiers.

1-Star Box (Common Items)

2-Star Box (Uncommon Items)

3-Star Box (Rare Items)

4-Star Box (Epic Items)

5-Star Box (Legendary Items)

6-Star Box (Exotic Items)

7-Star Box (Mythic Items)

8-Star Box (Gaming Legends Items)

Now, let's get into the outfits

The Visitors Helmet (Gaming Legends)

Vocaloid Items (Still deciding on the items, possibly that one blue-haired singer..)

Galaxy Raw Data set (Mythic, FREE for OG prototype testers!)

& more!

These will come out 2 weeks after launch, either in waves or all at once.

THE WORKSHOP

The Workshop is coming to RR:ANS! Download community made ui’s, keybinds, or story mode mods.

EVOLVING MAIN MENU

Your main menu will change depending on what episode you’re on in the story mode. It has 5 stages:

  1. Black void (Hasn’t started story)
  2. Cracked Seam in the black void (Episode 1)
  3. God Rays shining through the crack (Episode 2)
  4. Alternate music with the crack expanding (Episode 3)
  5. The Crack bursts open and reveals…. (Episode 4)
  6. What’s done is done. (Episode 5. A field of… something beautiful.)

What’s truly at the end? Is this another sick joke by them…?

(Evolution Main Menu can be turned off in settings, and will set the main menu back to the original planned one.)
