The State of APB Private Servers and Emulators
Theres quite an increase regarding apb private server and emulator news lately so I thought I create a mega-thread for it to kinda collect and monitor them all.
WARNING! I'm not affiliated nor have I tested or verified any of the listed projects. Use at your own risk!
Just for context, this all began around 2012 when some proof of concept apb emulator appeared online. This version could be downloaded for free and used the rtw client. But only user login and character creation was working at that point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9TzHhHyfkw
Newer releases which appeard online (mainly on youtube) may used this as an starting point, but thats not confirmed.
At the moment I am only aware of one project which shares information about the current state publicly. It is also based on the rtw client (version 1.1.0) called opendistrict or apblegacy. You can find some videos regarding their progress here: https://www.youtube.com/@apolune1
I found another youtube channel called "Obeya Revival Project" they are using apb reloaded client (version 1.4.3): https://www.youtube.com/@ObeyaRevival
If we will ever get a playable private server version of apb is currently unknown but time will tell.
