Since being first released to the public in 1992, the sandbox RPG UnReal World had been continually updated and redesigned for 24 years, as of February 2016. The game was developed by two people – head creator Sami Maaranen and programmer Erkka Lehmus (both Finland) – in 1990, and was originally started as a shareware RPG coded in ASCII. Since then, it has undergone a raft of design changes and had a number of features added, as well as changing its fantasy setting to Iron Age Finland. On 25 February, Sami Maaranen told GWR that it was their intention to "keep developing the game, with no end in sight, and release new versions of it".
On 26 February 2016, UnReal World was made available to buy on Steam for $10.99 (£7.89) – 26 years after the game's development began in 1990.
