As talked about earlier, we’ve not actually seen something in the case of Rush is Actual, however the crew has opened a model new Discord server, the place Tyulegenov encourages potential gamers to “drop [their] concepts and options.” Should you be a part of, you’ll reserve your in-game nickname forward of launch, and the primary 10,000 members can even obtain a “particular in-game present” when Rush is Actual launches.

“An important factor is for the sport and its group, as a unified entire, to supply a shoulder to lean on in each good occasions and unhealthy,” Tulegenov says. “And if it helps even 100 gamers, I will be pleased.
