Miksi Early Access?

BLACK STIGMA is a hero shooter built around a unique combat system that blends close-quarters combat and shooting mechanics. This complex system brings countless variables, and we believe it’s impossible to perfect the balance without real player feedback.
That’s why we chose to refine the game together with our community—through Early Access.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We’re planning for around six months.
During this time, we’ll continuously add new Masters (characters), modes, customization options, and fine-tune combat balance based on player feedback.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

In Early Access, players will get hands-on with the core combat system, four match modes including 6v6 Team Deathmatch, and 15 unique Master characters.
By the time of the full release, we plan to expand with more combat modes, new maps, additional Masters, progression content, and enhanced community features.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

BLACK STIGMA has gone through multiple testing phases to ensure a stable core gameplay experience.
Players can expect a polished combat loop with dynamic weapon and skill combinations. That said, certain balance tweaks and UI/UX improvements are still being refined based on player feedback.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

No. BLACK STIGMA will remain free during Early Access and after the full launch.
However, in-game items and skins may be sold separately based on design and content.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We’re actively collecting feedback through Discord and various social channels.
We regularly share updates in ‘Developer Notes’ and incorporate player input into development.
This open communication will continue all the way through to full release.
