Why Early Access?

“We believe that it’s better to share our early access content, even if it’s in work in progress in order to gain in efficiency. Our policy is to build the best possible final game close to the community to make the best choices possible and constantly improve. As an independent french studio, we want to build the first versions of the game close to the community. Especially with dedicated, efficient ways to communicate and show the state of progress with a forum, a roadmap and social networks.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect that the early access phase (ALPHA and BETA phases) will last 6 to 9 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The ANAREA Battle Royale final version will clearly contain more in-game content, as well as new features around the core of the game, a much more pronounced post-apocalyptic artistic direction, a better lighting system and overall optimization, a much more competitive atmosphere, a significant amount of Quality of Life, game networking and netcode improvements, bug fixes, etc... The full version of the game is aiming to progressively evolve with the willingness to always have the community involvement on dedicated forums and social medias. A public roadmap is already created and shows a lot of currently in-development scheduled tasks, but also future adds and improvements, such as:

- Skilled, dynamic and competitive gameplay mechanics
- Deep consumables system
- Vehicles
- Communicative ping system and compass
- Customizable crosshairs
- Destructible surfaces
- Solo, duo and squad matchmaking
- Open competitive circuit
- Clan system
- Report and reputation system
- Combat pass
- Quality of Life improvements
- Game networking and netcode improvements
- Bug fixes
- and more...”
