Why Early Access?

“Unchained Entertainment is an independent studio that is not backed by any publisher or tech giant, but by individual investors including the studio’s co-founder. By continuing FS:R's development through Early Access, we'll be able to hire more team members to build additional core gameplay and add exciting new content - including new Champions, more scenarios, new enemies, new Champion attacks, and additional features. We invite players to try out Early Access FS:R, experience it as it evolves, and help shape its development through their feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The amount of polishing, balancing, and additional content we have planned could take more than a few months. Fortunately, players will be part of the process as we will be showing the new features to players early in the development process and getting their feedback.”

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

“The full version of FS:R will have more champions, more enemies, a more immersive and "living world," professional voice-actors, bigger scenarios with larger player matches, as well as additional polish and balancing and different game modes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This Early Access version of FS:R features 5 playable champions, two fully-playable scenarios, a new and revolutionary proprietary graphic engine technology that allows running hundreds, even thousands of enemies on-screen at high FPS, online multiplayer with 8-player lobbies growing to higher numbers as more people purchase the game. The game's servers are quite stable, but neither the client nor the servers are fully optimized as of yet. Since the beginning of Early Access, we’ve added a player progression system, an additional Champion build system, a whole new scenario and a season pass.”

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

“The price of the game will change once the game goes Live, after Early Access ends.”

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

“Player feedback is a crucial part of FS:R's development. When the community brings bugs/errors to our attention, we take those reports seriously, and do our best to fix the issues. Similarly, when the community gives us feedback on features, playability, balance and fun, we listen, and adjust where needed. At the end of the day, we make games for gamers.”
