Why Early Access?

“Early Access has been our ideal way to combine support for SWAT Commander with learning how our work on the game is received. Players will be able to become more effectively involved in its development so that we can deliver the best improvements, which is our top priority.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The planned duration of Early Access is 12 months as this is the time for our scheduled key updates post-release.”

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

“We are planning to introduce larger and more ambitious missions that will significantly expand the scope of the game. These missions will roughly double the current game's size, offering deeper challenges and more engaging scenarios. Each mission will also feature a new game mode, allowing players to customize mission settings for added variety and replayability, ensuring every scenario feels fresh and unique.
The AI for both SWAT officers and enemies is undergoing a comprehensive overhaul to create more dynamic and realistic engagements. The command system for SWAT officers will be improved and possibly extended, giving players greater tactical control. Enemies will now adapt to your strategies, forcing you to stay sharp and flexible. Additionally, new gameplay features such as real-time enemy reactions to darkness will introduce a new layer of tactical depth to missions.
Additionally, we plan to revamp the voice lines for all characters, adding more depth to the SWAT officers’ stories and making the game more immersive and engaging.
For heightened immersion, a body-camera view is being added, placing players directly in the heart of the action. A new Player vs. Player (PvP) mode will also be introduced, offering thrilling opportunities to test your tactical skills against other SWAT teams in competitive matches.
We will also continue addressing bugs and optimizing performance to ensure smoother gameplay and an improved player experience. With the support of Early Access, we will aim to refine all aspects of the game incorporating players feedback into future updates to deliver the best possible experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The version we've prepared for Early Access version is currently fully playable with its 6 missions intended for release in both single player and co-op, as well as different game modes. The game has successfully had all of its planned Early Access features implemented – among many others a guide, a playable tutorial, a broad arsenal of equipment for your SWAT team, and support for 17 languages.”

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

“We will take into consideration a price change and make a decision before leaving Early Access.”

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

“We are planning to involve our ever helpful, already established community both within and beyond Steam spaces, using all available platforms. Our key strategy is to call our players to action for providing feedback every time we release one of our key scheduled updates.”
