What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“After years of development, we're proud to show you everything that Bellwright has to offer. We'd like to use the opportunity that Early Access provides to make it not just our game, but your game as well. Actively listening to your feedback will be extremely important in order to create the best experience possible, implement the most requested features, and fix any occurring issues.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With the scale of the game and major plans for upcoming updates, along with your feedback regarding what you want to see in the game, we're estimating to reach full release within the next 3 years.”

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

“Along with various content updates that we'll be developing based on your feedback during Early Access, we plan to add features like horses, sieges, and fortifications, as well as vast new regions and biomes, a complete story line, expanded tier progression, including buildings and equipment and much more, resulting in a truly complete experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our goal for the Early Access release has been to ensure both stability and fun in every aspect of the game.

On day 1, Bellwright offers an extensive list of polished features like:

  • A large map filled with biomes to explore and village to liberate
  • 3 tier of progression filled with buildings and items
  • Intelligent AI that engages with every aspect of town building
  • Skill-based directional combat and army command
  • Story line and side quests spanning across the entire game
  • And many more...

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

“Yes, we may increase the price on major content milestones and at full release. We believe that the state and the scale of the game should fairly reflect on the price of the game.”

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

“Community involvement is extremely important for us and is the main reason we're launching Bellwright into Early Access. Our developers are actively participating in Discord discussions about the game and we will be gathering your feedback throughout the entire development process.”

Determined to find the answers, you journey back to the very place you escaped.

Slowly but surely, you will lead a rebellion against your homeland's oppressive Sovereign to victory, uncovering the truth of your family's secret along the way. The bells shall ring for freedom once again!
