JSTN, Firstkiller, Archie, Zen, and others tested the game build on Unreal Engine 6, as the developers were looking forward to taking the feedback to improve the gameplay.

There were some players who first reported that there were some mechanics that were slightly different than the current version.

Some motions and advanced mechanics were somewhat delayed when tested early, Archie said. The development team is active in listening to user feedback and improving the game based on suggestions; however, Zen praised them for that.
