ReVamp · official art via IGDBDigital Sun says it cancelled its planned public Steam playtest for ReVamp to prevent AI-driven cloning. The studio, based in Valencia, Spain, states that recent examples of unreleased games being reverse-engineered and published early made a large public build too risky while launch remains months away. Reports say the decision follows the recent closure of Decomp.dev amid rising concern over bad actors using AI tools to steal in-development projects.
Players who requested access on Steam will miss the initial test. Digital Sun plans to host a smaller playtest on its Discord starting on October 29, with a public playtest hoped for around January.
