What began as a dream to revive the golden age of MMOs became one of gaming’s longest, strangest sagas.
Camelot Unchained was supposed to be the spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot — a realm-vs-realm MMO from the mind of Mark Jacobs, the creator behind Mythic Entertainment and Warhammer Online.

But after 12 years in development, over $32 million raised, and countless delays, fans are still waiting.
Was it passion? Mismanagement? Or something far worse?

This full-length documentary dives deep into the rise and fall of Mark Jacobs — from pioneering the first online worlds in the 1980s, to his MMO empire at Mythic, to the Kickstarter promises, controversies, and chaos of Camelot Unchained.
