We’re only a few days past our official release, and it’s incredible to see that over 100,000 video stores have already opened!

The positivity surrounding the game has truly blown us away… Many of you already know this, but we’re just two developers at Blood Pact Studios. We’ve spent nearly two years working on this project, and your incredible support has made our dream a reality.

Our top priority right now is addressing any bugs you may encounter. If you do run into an issue, please report it on our Discord. It helps us a lot!

Looking ahead, we’re excited to officially confirm that more content is coming to Retro Rewind! We’ve been gathering feedback and revisiting ideas to shape our upcoming roadmap. Take a look below!

First of all, all upcoming updates will be completely FREE. Even though Retro Rewind has launched as a full release, we have no plans to charge for future content. Our goal is to keep building on the game and make it the best video store experience possible for all players.

We also want to mention that this roadmap is subject to change based on community feedback. This is an evolving process, so please keep sharing your suggestions. While we don’t have specific release dates just yet, we’ll be working hard to bring these updates to you over time.

Now, get back to your video stores and keep the business running. Your customers are waiting for their movies! 🙂

Cheers,
The Retro Rewind Team
