  "summary": "4J Studios has announced that its open-world survival sandbox game, Reforj, will be available on PC via a closed playtest starting in Q1 2027. The playtest will be invite-only to ensure an optimized player experience, and the studio will provide further details on the hosting platform later in the year. 4J Studios emphasized the importance of early access, stating that they announced the game when it was still in its prototype stage, nine months after development had begun. The developer also highlighted their direct communication with the community, with feedback being sent directly to the CEO, director, and lead designer for immediate implementation.",
