Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Pillar of War is built around fast, competitive matches where balance, clarity, and responsiveness are critical. Early Access allows us to refine these systems with real player feedback.

While the core gameplay is complete, we want to work closely with the community to fine-tune unit balance, improve matchmaking, and continue enhancing the competitive experience. Player feedback will directly influence adjustments to pacing, abilities, and overall game feel.

Our goal is to deliver a highly polished, skill-based experience, and Early Access is the best way to ensure the game reaches that level with the help of an active player base.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Given the current state of development, we expect Pillar of War to remain in Early Access until late Q3 2026.”

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

“The full version is planned to build on the Early Access release with more robust single-player challenges, improved balance, additional polish, better onboarding for new players, and a more refined overall experience for both casual and competitive players. Early Access is focused on testing the core gameplay, improving stability and usability, and using player feedback to shape the final version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable with ranked multiplayer, Vs AI single player with 4 difficulties, and initial challenges available. Battle/Skirmish game mode exists for both multiplayer and vs AI. The War Room, where you can configure all of the games' options is fully complete. ”

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

“The plan is to keep the same price after leaving Early Access.”

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

“We plan to involve the community throughout Early Access through our Discord server and the Steam Community Hub. Players will be able to share feedback on gameplay balance, performance, usability, and overall game feel, and that feedback will help guide ongoing tuning, polish, and improvements. We plan to stay active in these channels throughout development and use community feedback to help prioritize updates.”
