Why Early Access?

“We believe the best games are built with the community, where the best ideas rise to the top. Pekla is an ambitious project for us, and Early Access allows us to create a faster feedback loop, enabling players to help shape the game as it evolves. By gathering input from real players, we can refine core gameplay, improve balance, and introduce meaningful content updates that make every feature feel rewarding and engaging.
The game will require time to grow into our full vision, expanding with new abilities, enemies, bosses, and mechanics. Early Access gives us the flexibility to develop organically, ensuring every update adds depth and value. By joining us on this journey, players will directly influence how Pekla takes shape, making it the best game it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect it to be in Early Access for around one year, but this timeline may adjust as we expand and refine the game. Our goal is to ensure that every feature, mechanic, and system meets the high standards we envision, and we will take the necessary time to achieve that.”

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

“Our vision for the full version includes expanding beyond the Early Access release with additional circles of Hell, new items, more corruptions, hidden secrets, powerful bosses, and a greater variety of damned enemies. Development will continue based on player feedback and our ongoing progress.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently it includes most of the core functionality, providing a solid foundation for the game's mechanics and progression. Currently, it features one fully playable circle of Hell, four challenging bosses, 24 items along with their unique counterparts, and 42 corruption powers. While this is just the beginning, the game is already designed to offer deep build variety and replayability, with more content and refinements planned as development progresses.”

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

“The price is planned to gradually increase as new content and features are added. However, the changes won’t be too substantial. Early Access players will have the opportunity to join at a lower price while supporting development, and as the game expands with new mechanics, areas, and improvements, the price will reflect its growing scope.”

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

“Community involvement is at the heart of Pekla’s development. We want players to actively shape the game, and we’re committed to keeping an open dialogue throughout Early Access.
We have an Discord server where we’ll share detailed progress updates, discuss upcoming features, and allow players to pitch ideas that could make it into the game. We’ll also collaborate with streamers and content creators, gathering their feedback to refine mechanics and improve the overall experience. Additionally, we’ll host regular playtesting sessions, giving players the opportunity to try new features early, provide feedback, and help balance the game before major updates.
Your input will directly influence Pekla’s evolution, ensuring it becomes the best game it can be.”
