What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“From combat missions to town customization, and everything in between, there are a lot of features and activities for us to get just right. Our goal is for Lynked to provide the best experiences possible for players, and we believe iterating based on community feedback will help us do just that. We’re kicking off Early Access to get the game into the community’s hands as soon as possible, so that we can make changes and improvements based on the thoughts you share with us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently, we’re targeting 2025 to release the full version of the game, and we will keep the community posted once we’re ready to share a more precise launch date. We may decide to adjust our release timing based on shifting development needs, but we will be sure to let you know if that happens.”

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

“Throughout Early Access, we plan to implement tuning adjustments and improve gameplay based on community feedback.

It is also a priority for us to release a large content addition as Early Access concludes, which will bring many more hours of gameplay to the full game, as well as improvements to the existing game. The full launch will add:

  • 5 new campaign chapters, for a total of 9, containing 6 combat missions for each chapter.
  • Additional weapon class variants, as well as new upgrades, Spark Powers, and more.
  • Another unique biome to explore, and more enemies of each type, including bosses.
  • A host of additional cosmetics you can use to apply a personal touch to your town and gear.
  • We are also aiming to expand subtitle localization support to include more languages and accessibility features.
  • Gameplay quality-of-life improvements based on community feedback.
  • Updates and improvements for our interface and overall user experience.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You will be able to dive into a significant portion of the single-player and multiplayer experience that we plan to bring to the game.

During Early Access, you can expect to:

  • Experience 4 of 9 total campaign chapters, each containing 6 combat missions.
  • Explore two vibrant and visually distinct biomes.
  • Dive into several replayable, combat-focused side missions again and again.
  • Play cooperatively with friends both in combat or in your town!
  • Unlock, craft, and upgrade 10 different classes of weapons, each with their own weapon variants and mid-run upgrades to find, and Spark Powers to unleash.
  • Conquer a wide variety of enemies, which include mega-bosses to defeat!
  • Head home to your own personal town between missions, where you can craft weapons and upgrades, interact with a plethora of NPCs, construct a large assortment of buildings, customize with hundreds of décor items, and coordinate your next co-op mission playthrough with friends.
  • Take advantage of in-town systems such as fishing and farming to gather resources to upgrade weapons, combat powers, and more.

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

“We may adjust the price of Lynked at or near our official release window, but we will be sure to let you know ahead of time if that happens.”

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

“Throughout Early Access, we plan to bring the Lynked community into our development plans as much as we can. We want to hear your thoughts as you discuss the game with us and other players, so that we can iterate based on that feedback. We will also keep the community posted on any updates or improvements that we bring to the game, and we’re working on a development roadmap that we’re excited to share with you soon.

Keep up with the latest Lynked news and share your thoughts about the game with us on our Steam forums, by joining our Discord community, or by finding @PlayLynked on your favorite social media platforms.”
