Why Early Access?

“We would like to start by thanking you for your participation and your time spent helping us improve our project! PEAK.53 is in a public alpha stage, still in active development, and will continue to progress. Early Access will be essential for testing game play, controller support, weapon balancing, hit registry and player-to-player connections.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Though we are confident with the current state of PEAK.53 (as an EA, alpha, free-to-play game), it will remain in early access until we are fully satisfied with all components and features. We are committed to remaining in early access for as long as it takes to ensure our product reaches its highest level of quality before transitioning to beta testing.”

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

“Improved gameplay (prone, lean, ladder climbing), level optimization, new game modes (i.e., extraction and king of the hill) in-game voice chat, rotating weapon skin bench, and swimming are just a few things to look forward to as PEAK.53 improves and progresses. We will continue to gather feedback and suggestions from its incredibly active community. All ideas and suggestions are gathered and considered to be included in the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In its current state, PEAK.53, is engaging and exciting and already has well-polished base functionality and is extremely immersive. Voice over(s) during game-play when either side wins a match, plants a bomb on the opponents site, and rounds counts for both Peak Elite vs INK Corp.
Classic 8 vs 8 matches - one life per round, no healing or reviving teammates.
Classic map modes - suppression, demolition.
Limited loadouts, one primary, one secondary, frag grenades(4) and 2 explosive items.
NO vehicles or other forms of transportation (present or future).
Simple UI/HUD, no overcomplication with functionality or visual(s).
Purely skill-based mechanics, team communication, and level/map advantages.
No heal buffs, shields or other forms of protection to gain advantages over other players.
All weapons/firearms will be similar in performance and handling with slight adjustments for balancing to equal all "PVP" (player vs player) interactions and "gun-fights".
Classic weapon loadouts, featured guns with additions are ever-evolving.
Quick respawn lobby room (respawn until all players ready up).
Classic in-game scoreboard to display team leaders in rank, points, kills, and deaths.”

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

“We have released as a free-to-play game.”
