What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We decided to bring Ranger’s Path into Early Access to involve the community in the development process and shape the simulation experience together with players. During Early Access, we plan to release updates that expand the game and further refine existing features. We also intend to gather player feedback, wishes, and suggestions to help guide ongoing development wherever possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are currently planning on staying in Early Access for about a year. However, development will continue as long as it’s needed to deliver the experience we and the community envision. ”

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

“We expect the full version to offer more content and additional refinements compared to the initial Early Access release. Our current plans include introducing new gameplay elements and adding further animals, tasks and missions. The scope and features of the full version may evolve over time as development progresses.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access will offer a first look into the core experience of Ranger’s Path. Players will be able to explore the park, take on various ranger duties, and get an early feel for the world and atmosphere. We will continue to build upon this foundation throughout Early Access, step by step expanding the scope of the game.”

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

“The pricing will increase when leaving Early Access. ”

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

“We will gather feedback via Discord and the Steam community forums. This feedback will be evaluated regularly to help prioritize improvements and guide future updates. ”

Roadmap

Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator will expand during Early Access! Here's our official roadmap:

About This Game

In Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator, you take on the everyday responsibilities of a real park ranger in the stunning Faremont National Park. Restore and maintain scenic trails, assist visitors, and document wildlife in a living, breathing ecosystem.

You’ll clear blocked paths, collect litter, fix broken signs – and occasionally drop everything to respond to urgent wildlife sightings or missing hikers. Each day brings new tasks and surprises.

Faremont’s diverse biomes range from dense forests and meadows to winding rivers. With your ranger pickup, you’ll cover long distances along the park’s road network, reaching remote areas filled with natural landmarks like waterfalls, rock formations, and scenic viewpoints.

As you explore, use your camera to observe animal behavior and expand your personal wildlife lexicon. From elusive wolves and majestic eagles to mischievous raccoons, each species adds life to the park’s biological habitat.

But your job isn’t just about nature – it’s also about people. You’ll guide campers, check permits, respond to emergencies, and ensure that the park remains welcoming and safe.
