Why Early Access?

“Oathbreakers is currently in Early Access due to the ambitious nature of what it will become.

In its current state, the foundations, systems and mechanics of the game are already in place and are fully functional. There is already a substantial amount of content present within the game to keep you engaged for a very long time.

Oathbreakers will remain in Early Access to continue to innovate new content and be consistently updated to create the best version of itself before it's official release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Oathbreakers aims to stay in Early Access until the game is fully fleshed out and inline with the goal of creating a vast universe of challenges and progression.

As the core foundations of the game are already in place, expanding the world to this level and thus leaving Early Access will take roughly a year or so.

However, this will not be the end, as once Oathbreakers is officially released, it will continue to receive updates and grow.”

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

“Future developments aim to polish the existing content and introduce further content such new zones, challenges, dungeons, monsters, equipment, achievements, guilds, spells, abilities, status effects, weapons and tools to significantly broaden your playstyle options and create vastly dynamic and challenging situations for progression.”
