Why Early Access?

“We believe that with Westard the feedback from the players is vital in order to develop Westard into the game that VR players will enjoy and get the most of it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The 1.0 version of Westard is arriving Q4 of 2024”

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

“The Early Access version will be very rough on the edges and mostly lack content and play modes compared to final product.

During the Early Access more solo & co-op missions, new Heist PvP Mode and more weapons will be added as well as gameplay improvements. During early access the game is going through major content changes and most of the early access content will change and improve during the development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Westard is going through rework and improvement phase right now. Current playable main version will be updated to new reworked Westard version during Q1 and Q2 of 2024.

About the current playable version:
The core mechanics are up and running. The amount of single-player & Co-Op missions will vary from the final product and also the Early Access version will include one pvp mode. At the first the main focus will be on creating single-player and co-op content. Some hiccups in multiplayer mode are expected in the first stages of Early Access.”

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

“The price will be lower during the Early Access phase as it is still not a ready product and missing some content.”

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

“Community will be included in the development and we intend to craft the final product to meet the standards and wishes based on the community's feedback.”
