In any case, Abyss appears to be moving through its development phases, which have been chronicled in monthly update posts. September brought the end of some fresh closed testing; a move to Unreal Engine 5.2; “new” features like underwater gameplay, harvestable trees and ore, and the addition of mobs; and additional combat and PvE areas. Meanwhile, October’s post appears to be only some concept art, and a November post that went out last week talked up Abyss’ presence at various trade shows and the creation of additional enemies.
