Why Early Access?

“FTS already has a playable core built around top-down tank combat, run-based progression, skill drafting, crew-based builds, and frontline breakthrough gameplay.

We are using Early Access to improve balance, pacing, build variety, progression clarity, controls, and overall polish through real player feedback while continuing to expand the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect FTS to remain in Early Access for roughly 9 to 12 months, with our current target being to leave Early Access around March 2027.

This is our best current estimate, not a fixed promise, and the timeline may change as development continues.”

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

“The full version is planned to expand FTS beyond the current Early Access build with more content variety, more build depth, deeper progression, additional quality-of-life improvements, and a higher overall level of polish.

We also plan to continue improving balance, pacing, controls, and overall clarity throughout Early Access. The exact scope may change during development, but the goal is a larger, more refined, and more complete version of the current game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes one main campaign run set on the German frontline, covering Frontlines 1 through 5, plus an Endless Mode.

It currently features 50 skills, 10 total crew members, and a run structure where exactly 4 crew members are selected per run. Players begin with 4 available crew members and can unlock 6 additional crew members over time.

The game also includes tank upgrades, run-based progression, ranking systems, and support for seven interface languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and German.”

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

“Yes. We currently plan for the full version to be priced higher than the Early Access version as more content and polish are added.

Our goal is for Early Access players to get in earlier at a lower price while helping shape the game during development.”

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

“Community feedback will play an important role during Early Access.

We plan to use Steam Discussions, announcements, patch notes, and direct player feedback to improve balance, build variety, progression clarity, difficulty pacing, controls, and quality-of-life.”
