Wozu Early Access?

„Etherwind is entering Early Access to gather player feedback while gameplay systems are actively being developed and refined. The game places a strong emphasis on long-term progression, cooperative play, and balance across multiple interconnected systems, which benefit from real player behavior and iteration.

Early Access allows development to be guided by community feedback on progression pacing, cooperative incentives, and overall gameplay feel.“

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

„We expect Etherwind to remain in Early Access for an extended period while additional content, systems, and polish are developed. The exact duration will depend on feedback, scope adjustments, content creation speed, and development progress.

We plan to move out of Early Access once the progression systems and overall content scope feel complete and stable, which we anticipate may be around 1-2 years after the initial Early Access release.“

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

„We plan for the full version to expand on the Early Access experience with additional regions, finely tuned progression systems, more quests and cooperative content, ongoing gameplay balance, polish, and performance improvements.

Early Access focuses on refining the core systems, while the full version aims to deliver a broader and more complete world built on those foundations.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version focuses on core gameplay systems, including PvE combat, character progression, rebirth mechanics, cooperative play, and a persistent shared world. Players can explore maps, complete quests, party with others, and progress their characters across multiple lives.

As with most Early Access titles, some features are still in development, content is incomplete, and balance and pacing will continue to evolve based on feedback.“

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

„During Early Access, Etherwind will be completely free to play, with no purchase price and no subscription. We do not plan to change the price at any point during Early Access.

After Early Access ends, the game itself will remain free to play. At that time, we plan to introduce an optional subscription that unlocks new continents and content added after launch. The base game and starting regions will remain free.

There are no plans to introduce a purchase price for the base game. Any pricing changes would be limited to optional post-launch subscription content.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„Community feedback is a core part of Etherwind’s development. Players are encouraged to share feedback, suggestions, and bug reports through in-game systems or the official Discord.

Feedback from the community helps guide balance changes, system adjustments, and future development priorities throughout Early Access.“
