What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We built Legend Battles to redefine the tactical extraction genre through high-tempo combined-arms combat, full urban verticality, and adaptive advanced AI. Early Access allows us to battle-test our 16 km² islands and the 500 km² Bellona continent infrastructure, weapon balance, and high-speed vehicular combat directly with active players. By joining us now, your gameplay data, squad feedback, and combat telemetry will directly shape the evolution of our world, balance, and future island deployments.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Legend Battles to remain in Early Access for approximately 18 to 24 months. This window ensures we have enough time to expand our island roster, refine our 4-class skill progression, iterate on player feedback, and fully optimize our server-authoritative netcode for seamless 1.0 global deployment.”

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

“The full version will expand the operational scope with additional active islands across Bellona and Aurora Island, expand our 5 hostile AI factions, unlock high-tier specialized skills, and introduce new high-velocity land, air, and orbital vehicles. Expect expanded narrative operations, new 3-mission combinations, deeper hideout customization, and enhanced economic trade features.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build offers a feature-complete, highly stable core loop. Players can jump into Solo PvE, Co-op PvE, or PvPvE in first- and third person perspective across multiple 16 km² islands, and the 500 km² Bellona continent (Solo PvE only), featuring fully accessible multi-story urban buildings and rooftops. You have full access to our 4 Specialist Role Branches (Bulwark, Mobility, Engineering, and Ordnance), high-speed vehicles and motorcycles reaching 406 km/h, and helicopters reaching 200 km/h, one of the most extensive ranges of clothing, weapons, vehicles for a shooter game, 20 dynamic weather conditions, and unscripted advanced AI combat encounters powered by Unreal Engine 5.6.”

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

“Yes. To reward our early supporters who join us during development, Legend Battles is offered at a discounted base price during Early Access. As we introduce major content expansions, additional islands, and new gameplay systems leading up to our 1.0 launch, the base price will increase to reflect the expanded scope.”

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

“Our players are our frontline advisors. We actively gather feedback through our official Discord, Steam Community Hub, and playtest sessions. We publish regular developer roadmaps, conduct balance surveys on weapons and vehicles, and directly invite squad leaders to test upcoming island builds and dynamic weather events before they hit public servers.”

· Ferocious Monsters: Deadly biological beasts that spit toxic acid, freezing liquids, flames, and poisonous gas before closing in with lethal claws and bites.

Deploy across vast, hyper-realistic worlds—from Mars’s free-to-play red dust, four 16 km² DLC islands   (Fortuna, Isis, Magna Mater, Minerva), and the breathtaking 36 km² Aurora DLC, to the massive 500 km² Bellona DLC (Solo PvE):

· Diverse Biomes & Ancient Landmarks: Explore rocky deserts, bioluminescent forests, flowery meadows, underwater vegetation, ancient pyramids, Greek temples, and alien shrines.

· Vertical Urban Infrastructure: Infiltrate dense futuristic megacities featuring fully accessible multi-story interiors, combat-ready rooftops, and cyberpunk basements.

· 5D Dynamic Firefights: Engage in seamless vertical combat across five zones—outdoors, indoors, basements, rooftops, and stationary spacecraft.

· Combined-Arms Traversal: Scale towering architecture via high-speed ziplines and parachutes, or command race cars, GP motorcycles, combat helicopters, and personal ornithopters across an unpredictable battleground.

Dominate the skies and command vertical freedom in a combined-arms sandbox where aerial mobility dictates survival:

· High-Velocity Insertion & Gliding: Launch operations straight from your customized 3D Siege-Breaker flagship, executing direct powered landings with high-velocity jet suits, or deploy tactical parachutes and ornithopters off skyscrapers to pinpoint your insertion with absolute precision.

· Unrestricted Vertical Traversal: Scale virtually any surface—from cliffs and trees to multi-story buildings and fences—or ride high-speed ziplines to reach high-altitude stationary spacecraft.

· Airspace Dominion: Command attack combat helicopters at 200 km/h, airlifting your entire squad plus two additional operators to execute devastating aerial assaults and control the sector from above.

Deploy with custom loadouts across five classes, specialist skills, and ARPG medals, gearing up mid-match via free Air Drops or Purchase Stations using earned Battle Coins:

· High-Stakes Operations: Squads start with minimal funds and aggressively earn currency through kills, looting, team sharing, and randomized 3-mission sequences across 14 objective archetypes.

· Dynamic Environmental Factors: Adapt to 20 weather conditions—from clear skies to cosmic night events and severe storms—actively altering sightlines, ballistic drop, acoustics, and vehicle traction.

· High-Risk Bionic Stations: Retrieve an eliminated teammate's dropped DNA ID crate and scan it at heavily contested Bionic Stations guarded by lethal NPCs and lurking snipers.

· Tactical Drop-In Respawns: Scanning a DNA ID redeploys squadmates via yellow hover taxis, launching them into a high-speed freestyle jump before deploying parachutes.

· Solo PvE Continuity: In Solo PvE, fallen operators auto-respawn via a standard countdown to maintain non-stop action.

Transform your operator into the Bulwark—an unyielding walking fortress engineered to withstand extreme combat and environmental hazards:
