Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Gear Up Einstein is already fun to play, and all of its core systems are in place. Early Access lets us polish and expand the game alongside our players, so the content we add next is shaped by the people actually playing it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last about a year. The exact timing will depend on community feedback and on how much content we add along the way.”

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

“The full version will include new historical eras, more characters, and more gadgets, gear, and enemies. Throughout Early Access, you can expect regular free updates with new content, quality-of-life improvements, and the features the community asks for most.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At launch, the game includes 29 playable characters, over 100 items, 13 gadgets, 35 enemies, 48 squad perks, and 5 difficulty levels. Each era has its own combat modifiers, and the Divergence system shuffles modifiers, enemies, and gear across eras so no two runs play the same. Everything can be played solo or in online co-op with up to 3 players.”

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

“No price changes are planned during Early Access. The price will increase when version 1.0 releases, so buying during Early Access is the cheapest way to get the game.”

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

“Join our Discord and tell us what you think! We read every piece of feedback and want to hear which content and features you'd like us to work on next. The community's input will directly shape our update priorities.”
