- Freejam Studio Closure - 20 January 2025
Hi everyone, As many of you will have heard by now, Freejam has ceased production on Robocraft 2 and the studio is closing down. Robocraft 1 and Cardlife are currently being delisted from the Steam store and the servers for both of these games will be shutting down over the course of this week. We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the massive communities as well as our Admins and Moderators that have been with us over the past decade. From RC1 veterans to those who joined us on this journey in later projects, it's your passion that has been such a fundamental driving force for us. From all of us at Freejam, thank you so much for joining us.

- Robocraft Rebuild - Planned Features and First Look At The Cube Manipulator - 30 January 2024
When the Early Access version of Robocraft 2 launched on Steam we received thousands of reviews, reactions and comments from fans of Robocraft. Whilst some players liked the new direction we had taken the game in, many many more expected and wanted something much closer to a modern version of the original game. We took some time. We did some soul-searching. We reread every single review, word by word, considering again all the feedback we had received about the game from all of our social channels. We also looked at the stats. After all of that, we made the very tough decision to rebuild the game, from the ground up, to be much closer to a modern version of the original game. This time though, we want to build the foundations that can support a bigger game (in time) with lots of varied gameplay options, particularly introducing engaging and varied solo and co-op online PVE on top of the…
- Block Anim Prototype - 26 January 2024
Earlier this week, we announced that we would be rebuilding Robocraft 2 from the ground up with modern graphics and technology, with a building system familiar to players of Robocraft from 2014 - 2015. We’ve been working on an experimental prototype where we’re just exploring ways of making placing and deleting blocks feel fluid and satisfying with animation and sound. This is not an early version of the rebuild or anything like that, it is a simple internal prototype exploring how to make placing and deleting blocks feel satisfying that we thought we’d share with you so you could try it: BlockAnimPrototype Download
- Robocraft 2 - Rebuild - 22 January 2024
Hello Robocrafters, As promised, here is some more information on the image of the Tier 1 cube we posted on socials earlier this week: Given the feedback we have received from so many fans of Robocraft and the response the current version Robocraft 2 has received on its initial early access launch, we have decided to rebuild Robocraft 2 from the ground up to be much closer to OG (from the 2014-2015 era) with modern graphics and technology and with a greater variety of PVE and PVP gameplay for players to choose from which we will add over time. We have put together this FAQ which will answer some of the questions players will have and we will monitor spaces where robocraft is being discussed and will add to the FAQ over time.

Hello Robocrafters, Over the last few months we’ve been working on a sequel to Robocraft. You can add it to your wishlist via the link below: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1991140/Robocraft_2/ Check out this trailer which was created from some very early online closed alpha battle tests with the community.

You’ll earn Robits for each battle which can be spent in-game. We will be introducing a number of changes like getting out of your robot, the ability to stretch and scale blocks, and changing robots mid-battle. We also have plans to provide new and interesting ways to build your robots ranging from physics-based joints like axles, hinges, servos and pistons. But you’ll also be able to create tank tracks usin…
