Wozu Early Access?

„HUNTED has already benefited hugely from playtesting. Seeing how people survive, hunt and work together has helped us make changes that we wouldn’t have found on our own.

We want to keep building the game with that feedback. Early Access gives players a chance to help shape both sides of the hunt while we expand the content, refine the balance and improve the overall experience.“

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

„We currently expect HUNTED to remain in Early Access for approximately a year, releasing late 2027. This is an estimate and may change depending on player feedback and how development progresses.

We plan to keep players informed about our progress and update this timeframe as our plans become clearer.“

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

„We plan to expand HUNTED with more maps to explore, more unique enemies to face, and more perks to unlock for both survivors and the enemy. We want each map to feel distinct, with its own atmosphere, challenges and things to discover, rather than simply moving the same experience to a different location.

We also plan to give players more to do during matches, with additional interactions, objectives and opportunities for different playstyles. Alongside new content, we aim to keep improving balance, performance and overall polish. Community feedback will help shape these additions and what we prioritise throughout Early Access.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„HUNTED currently offers a playable 1–5 player experience set in St. Meridian Memorial Hospital. You can play alone or team up against an AI-controlled Lady, or play PvP with one player controlling The Lady against the survivors. The core match loop is implemented, including Black Matter extraction and purging, radio defence, teammate reviving, and The Lady’s stalking and hunting abilities.

Her Children also roam the hospital, threaten survivors and drink Black Matter from unattended filled syringes. Player progression is included, with XP, levels and unlockable perks for separate survivor and monster loadouts. The game is still in development. Players should expect bugs, balance changes and areas that need further polish.“

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

„We may increase the price as more content is added during Early Access or when the game reaches full release. We plan to communicate any price changes in advance.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We plan to use Steam Discussions to gather suggestions, bug reports and feedback from players. We’re especially interested in hearing what makes matches memorable, which strategies people discover and where either side of the hunt becomes frustrating.

Playtesting has already influenced HUNTED’s development, and we want that to continue throughout Early Access. We plan to share updates and patch notes so players can follow what’s changing and understand the decisions behind it.“
