Why Early Access?

“While our previous games have proceeded straight to release, current market conditions and the way in which the player base has changed meant an Early Access launch would provide us with greater flexibility to hone the experience. We have a key vision for Spymaster that we don’t want to rush, but at the same time, we’re keen to involve our community of fans to help the game achieve its fullest potential.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The current plan is to officially release Spymaster in Q1 2027. It’s always worth noting that as development progresses, these plans can evolve as we listen to community feedback along the way.”

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

“The final release version of Spymaster will expand upon the already available content, we expect to add two major levels alongside a selection of the smaller challenge levels.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, Spymaster features 5 core levels as well as 4 challenge levels. Completing the core missions offers about 4-5 hours of gameplay, with that time extended by completing all the side missions. There are three elite Agents to embody across the game, with each mission featuring two Agents to swap between. This is a key component of Spymaster, as missions can’t be completed solely by one Operator. The core mechanic in the game is the rewind time function, which we’ve spent a lot of hours perfecting. This allows players to rewind part or all of their actions to redo sections of a mission. Each Agent also has their own unique tool. Tic has a gun to shoot enemies, while Mulligan has a taser to disable electrical objects. Furthermore, players can run, jump, slide and zipline through levels, adding action elements to provide a nice contrast to the strategic gameplay.”

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

“The price will be increased for the full release of the game.”

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

“The VR community knows the quality of our games and what we strive to achieve as a team. Spymaster will be the first time we’ve opened up the development process to players who we’re very keen to help shape the final product. We encourage everyone to engage with us on social media platforms like X, Instagram and Discord. We’ll also run classic Steam community hub talks, as well as provide a dedicated email address to contact the team directly.”
