Why Early Access?

“Ortharion: The Last Battle is a new version of Ortharion Project where the community had been a great help to go in the right direction. I plan to improve the concept by working more on the quality of the game as well as on the number of possibilities and the exploration of the world.

New game systems are going to be added compared to Ortharion Project, so it will also be a question of seeing if this mixture of genre and idea is received correctly by the community and making the necessary changes to make the game the most fun. and as intuitive as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm planning on a little over 3 years of early access, or a release in 2027.”

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

“Version 0.1 which will be released during Early Access will contain the game basics, as well as 25% of the total game content in terms of world.
Many new areas will be available, new classes, an increase in the number of items and talents to increase the number of possibilities and replayability.
In addition to increasing the content present, new content will also be added, such as the management of an adventurer's guild with a crafting system.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Version 0.1 which should be released at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023 will be in the following form:

A camp that the player can develop, several game modes will be available in this camp allowing to test all the bases of the game.
The game's campaign will be little developed: only 4 of the 16 zones offered in the game will be available and that in a non-final version.

The goal is to offer a gameplay loop that is already very accomplished and then improve the visuals, vary the playing styles, and make exploration ever more interesting, both visually and in terms of reward.

So the player will already be able to have high level characters at the launch of Early Access but the content will become repetitive probably after 10 hours.”

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

“We don't plan to change the price.”

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

“Any new game ideas are welcome, whether for content additions but especially for changes to the content currently present.
Balancing is important so please let us know if your preferred class is not powerful enough compared to others so that we can fix it.

Some additional content may be donated to the community, content that will only be available during Early Access.”
