Why Early Access?

“Code Red is an ongoing live project, as it stands our core mechanics are ready for players to experience a small sample of what we hope the game will include at launch.

As player input and feedback is so important to our development process, we wanted to release the game as an early access product so that we know players will get the best possible experience when we launch the game in full.

While we operate the live version under a minimal feature set, as a player you will still be able to compete in PvP game modes across a selection of introductory maps with our opening weapon selection.

As this is a live project and development is ongoing, all of the above only reflects the game at our initial early access release. We are aiming to update the game regularly during the early access period, responding to player feedback and constantly integrating the latest features for public testing.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning to have a fully fledged released of Code Red live towards the end of Q2 2023.”

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

“At release, we plan to have incorporated a plethora of new game modes, including the highly anticipated competitive mode. By this time we will have been working hard to integrate features and tweaks based on community input and aim to include as much of this as possible in the core experience.

We plan to give our existing front end a full makeover. Maps, game modes, weapons and enigma abilities should be fully balanced to offer a fun and fair gameplay experience that builds on the early access experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Under the current open beta label the game currently features a single PvP game mode, three playable maps, 5 core weapons and 6 different enigma abilities.

While this feature set is only representative of the current experience as we are constantly releasing new content and updates, this will represent the bare minimum of what our early access release will have to offer.”

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

“The game is free to play during our open beta and will remain free to play once it has been released fully.”

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

“We take all feedback and criticism very seriously and want to build a game that is as much designed by our community as it is by our development leads.

We aim to be consistently engaging with the community via our discord and soon to be released in game feedback forms.”
