What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Colonies of The Remnant is a living, evolving game and we want to build its future together with our players. While the foundation is already strong, we plan to expand and refine many of the game’s systems, colony interactions and survival mechanics based on community feedback.

Early Access gives us the opportunity to explore new ideas, adjust the balance as new strategies emerge and shape the future of the game alongside an active community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current goal is to fully release Colonies of The Remnant within approximately 5 to 9 months. However, the exact timeline may change depending on player feedback, development progress and the level of quality we want to achieve.

We are committed to keeping the game in Early Access for as long as necessary to ensure it reaches its full potential. We do not want to rush the process and we will continue refining and expanding the experience throughout Early Access.”

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

“The full version of Colonies of The Remnant is planned to build upon the Early Access experience with expanded maps, more complex colony traits, improved AI behavior, deeper narrative systems and further improvements to the game’s balance and overall polish.

We aim to improve every aspect of the experience, making the world more dynamic, challenging and highly replayable.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Colonies of The Remnant is already packed with content and is designed to offer a substantial, polished and complete-feeling experience from the beginning, even during Early Access.

Players can explore the large Atalanta map, manage and customize their own colony and face five hostile colonies in dynamic faction wars. The game features intense zombie battles, a wide range of weapons and armor, crafting, survival systems and base defenses.

Essential resources such as wood, coal, stone, food and medicine play an important role in survival while world events gradually reveal the deeper story behind the collapse.”

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

“Colonies of The Remnant will launch at a discounted price during Early Access. As we continue to expand and improve the game on the way to version 1.0, the price is expected to increase.

Players who purchase the game during Early Access will receive the full version at no additional cost.”

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

“We are committed to listening to the community and using player feedback to improve Colonies of The Remnant.

We encourage players to share their thoughts, suggestions and experiences through our Discord server, Steam forums, gameplay videos and official website. Community feedback will help us identify areas that need improvement and guide the balancing and development of future content.”
