Wozu Early Access?

„We are as passionate as many of you are about wanting a great 'mech combat experience. We want to ensure that each of our supporters has the opportunity to help influence the game's development as much as possible.

The original game was ambitious, and we want to temper those ambitions with realistic goals and gameplay. We learned a lot in 2024 about how we wanted to drive the Dark Horizons Universe forward with the re-release of Dark Horizons: Lore 20th Anniversary and the tabletop wargame, Dark Horizons Mechanized Corps, and we wanted to bring those lessons into this reimagining of Dark Horizons Mechanized Corps (DHMC) for the desktop.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„The plan is to have Mechanized Corps: Rebirth out of early access when the game has reached a state where we have solid and balanced gameplay. Currently, we hope to be out of early access in roughly mid-2026.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The initial Early Access version of the game contains much of the core combat gameplay for Mechanized Corps: Rebirth. The initial Early Access version of the game will launch with a handful of arena maps, the skirmish game mode, and the ability to play the 12 different MC chassis in 4 different weight classes.

We plan to introduce additional game modes, missions, and potentially story-led campaigns during Early Access and continue improving the game's AI, performance, and visuals.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The core functionality is implemented and playable. However, players should expect bugs, possible crashes, gameplay balancing tweaks, frequent updates, and an enjoyable game experience while helping influence development.

Current features include but are not limited to:

• 4 Combat Classes
  
• 12 Full MC chassis
  
• Dozens of weapons and equipment options for customization
  
• 4 playable levels
  
• 1 gameplay mode (Skirmish)
  
• Multiplayer and Instant Action single-player game support

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Please note that the Mechanized Corps: Rebirth will likely be in “Early Adopter” while we solidify the core gameplay and build out content; as such, our current pricing has been set to reflect its “in early development” nature but will likely increase as we add additional content.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„While we have a big list of things we want to accomplish with this game, we know that what is most important is ensuring that we fine-tune, enhance, and provide new content that will help make the game experience right at every stage possible.

We want to recapture what helped make our first mech title Dark Horizons Lore : Invasion both a 2005 IGF finalist and a cult classic by making the game more than just something you kill time in, but by making it an experience that you partake in and feel a part of as the game changes via customization and storytelling. We encourage all users to join the community Discord server via the in-game link and give us feedback (and maybe play some games with us)!“
