After a successful early access test for Developer+ backers, Shroud of the Avatar Release 3, the latest pre-alpha test release of the game, will take place beginning on February 20th, at 10:30 AM CST.

The most significant feature being added to the game in this release is, of course, its multiplayer element. However, there will also be an in-game chat feature making its debut, and we’ll get to see a third town as well (in addition to Kingsport and Owl’s Head, which featured in the previous two test releases).

Remember: These pre-alpha test releases are only open to those who have backed the game, either on Kickstarter or (now) via its website. The current minimum pledge to gain access to the early releases is $45, at which level you’ll also get alpha and beta access and a digital download of the first game in the series, Forsaken Virtues.
