Why Early Access?

“Gravebound is a systems-driven extraction shooter designed to evolve with player feedback. Early Access gives us the opportunity to build alongside our community — refining combat, tuning risk-reward systems, and expanding the world of the Shatterlands based on how players engage with the game. We aim to create a unique PvPvE experience, and Early Access allows us to iterate on mechanics and prioritize the content players care about most.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Gravebound to remain in Early Access for at least 10 to 18 months, but the timeline may shift depending on development progress and community feedback.”

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

“We’re planning to expand the core experience over time with additional maps, factions, weapons, enemies, and extraction scenarios. We're also exploring improvements to combat systems, progression mechanics, and overall content depth. Possible additions may include bosses, dynamic events, and faction-based quests. The final scope will be shaped by ongoing feedback and development priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Gravebound includes core PvPvE extraction gameplay, multiple playable zones, a variety of weapons and gear, and an initial faction system. Players can engage in solo or squad-based runs, encounter AI enemies, fight bosses, and extract loot. Core combat and extraction loops are functional, though balancing, progression systems, and content variety are still in active development.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price as we add more content and features during Early Access. Players who join early will be able to access the game at a lower price while helping shape its direction.”

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

“Community feedback is central to Gravebound’s development. We’ll be engaging directly through Discord, Steam forums, and regular dev blogs to gather input on balance, new features, and quality-of-life improvements. Players will also have opportunities to participate in playtests and help influence our development priorities.”
