Retro Dev Blog Update (October 2026)

Great news, Final Vendetta has been in assembly over the last few weeks, and the assembly process is nearly complete!

Our apologies for the delay since the last update, the team hit the final QA process really hard through late summer and since wrapping the gold master, we’ve been busy programming the PCBs and assembling like crazy.

AES is now fully assembled, MVS are about halfway and we expect to complete this week!

Here are some pictures from along the way:

Once assembly is complete, we’ll be ramping up into shipping, so if you have a new address from when placing your order, please get in touch. Shipping is likely to be in a couple of phases of the different regions, we’ll keep you updated as to when those begin to ship out.

Thanks again for all your support!
