Miksi Early Access?

We chose Early Access to build the game with players and improve it in the open.
- Validate the core fun and difficulty with real play, not assumptions.
- Find and fix bugs and performance issues across a wide range of hardware.
- Set roadmap priorities based on player feedback and transparent updates.
We aim for long-term quality rather than rushing 1.0. Early Access is how we iterate with the community toward the best version of the game.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

We plan to start Early Access between October and December 2025 and target a 1.0 release in mid 2026. This puts the Early Access period at roughly 6 to 9 months, with final timing adjusted based on player feedback.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The full version is planned to go beyond the current “get stronger” loop by completing a second core experience outside the match.
Locker Room: a hub grounded in a sustainable progression loop, where players can connect with others and discover fun beyond pure power progression.
This second core structure is the experience we are building toward. Exact features and scope may evolve during Early Access based on player feedback.

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

The Early Access build is about 80% complete toward our planned EA scope. The core loop is stable and fully playable.
- What’s ready: core mechanics, progression, and the key systems needed for a complete session.
- What’s in progress: balance and late-game tuning, content variety, performance and stability polish, and broader QA.
We plan to share a Steam Next Fest build that is very close to the EA experience so players can try it before we launch. Specific content and timing may evolve based on feedback.

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

We plan to maintain the price. We will announce any changes in advance.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

We plan to involve players throughout Early Access with open channels, participation programs, and live two-way communication.
- Steam Community and our official Discord as primary hubs for updates and feedback. For players in China, we’ll use Kook.
- A range of participation programs so the community can help shape development, such as opt-in playtests and focused feedback sessions.
- Live streams on Twitch and similar platforms for real-time Q&A, play sessions, and previews.
We’ll review feedback regularly, share what we’re acting on next, and adjust plans as we learn.
