Why Early Access?

“Kristala is an ambitious title with a significant scope and many features on the development roadmap. We need the community to be active participants in providing feedback on Kristala’s gameplay and mechanics in order to create the most immersive and comprehensive full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on being in Early Access for approximately 12-18 months. Our development roadmap and the feedback we receive from our player base will directly impact how long Kristala is in Early Access before releasing a 1.0.”

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

“For the Early Access release, we plan to have the core gameplay infrastructure and key features related to combat and exploration implemented.

The full release will include additional level areas, clan characters and corresponding spell trees, weapon types and talents, traversal mechanics, and feline-related skills. It will also include additional boss fights; NPCs and quests; consumables; item, weapon, and armor additions; story items; challenge modes; achievements; end game scenario(s); and other exciting features and functionality.

We want players to feel truly immersed in the dark fantasy world we've created, which will take time. This immersion will be strengthened the closer we get to a full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, we are planning to include the core gameplay infrastructure of combat and exploration. We expect to release Early Access with approximately 2-4 hours of playable content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we are aiming for a reduced Early Access price for those who support the game while we add additional content during the Early Access period.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The involvement of our community is paramount to us, and feedback from our player base will help directly shape the course of the game's development while in Early Access. We invite our community to join the Kristala Discord and share their ongoing feedback! https://discord.gg/kristala”
