…and this time for sure! The long anticipated version 4 of the highly popular web game framework Phaser is soon to be released, with v4.0.0 Beta 1 and Beta 2 both being published in the past few days.
Because this is such a monumental upgrade, we are jumping up by a major version number. And we’re also taking this opportunity to purge out some legacy items from inside of Phaser that we feel have outstayed their welcome.
Phaser 4 is not being created from scratch though – it is the evolution of version 3, but upgraded with the brand new in-house renderer called Beam. It was built and tested throughout the last few months extensively. The good news are you don’t need to rewrite your games to accomodate v4 as the internal API is the same.
Check out the news post about the release of both v3.87 and v4.0.0 for more details.
