Updated June 2. This is everything we know about Set 7 – Raiders Unchained – in a single place.

RU is the first set launched in the new client. Monthly development updates occurred for about a year leading up to the PC Gamer reveal article that announced a new client (and set) launch on Tuesday, May 31. Season 1 of ranked play launched on release and is scheduled to end August 1.

In the first 48 hours after release a variety of technical issues prevented players from accessing the game on all platforms. A temporary test environment was rolled out on the live server and updates to the status are visible on the official SolForgeGame.com website.
