왜 앞서 해보기를 진행하나요?

““We chose Early Access for ELEBEND to build this experience alongside players from the very beginning.

ELEBEND introduces a unique system where tactical board strategy and real-time combat coexist, and achieving the right balance between depth, clarity, and competitive fairness is critical.

We want players to shape that experience with us.

From elemental balance and combat pacing to game modes and progression systems, community feedback will directly influence how ELEBEND evolves. Our goal is to create a system that feels both intuitive to learn and deeply rewarding to master.

Early Access allows us to test, refine, and expand ELEBEND into the best version it can be — together with the players who will define its competitive future.””

얼마나 오래 앞서 해보기를 진행할 계획인가요?

“Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“ELEBEND is expected to remain in Early Access for roughly 6 to 12 months, depending on the pace of development, feature expansion, and player feedback.

Our priority is to ensure the game reaches a high level of quality, balance, and depth before the full 1.0 release.

We are committed to:

Frequent updates
Transparent communication
Continuous improvements based on player feedback

As ELEBEND evolves, we will regularly share patch notes, roadmap updates, and development insights through Steam and our community channels.””
