4J Studios has announced that its open-world survival sandbox Reforj will be available on PC via a closed playtest starting in Q1 2027.<\/p>\n
The news was revealed yesterday at Game Republic New Horizons, during an interview with 4J Studios’ Chris van der Kuyl and Joseph “Stampy” Garrett at the conference’s VIP reception.<\/p>\n
4J Studios shared further details with GamesIndustry.biz<\/em>, including that the playtest will initially be invite-only “to ensure an optimised player experience” while the studio continues to update Reforj based on player feedback.<\/p>\n The developer has not confirmed which platform will host the closed playtest, but will provide this information later in the year with a full announcement.<\/p>\n During the session, Garrett emphasised the importance of early access, especially for a game like Reforj.<\/p>\n “The things I try to get across for why I think this is a bit different from the more traditional early access route are two main reasons,” said Garrett. “The first one I think is just how early we got it in players’ hands.<\/p>\n
