What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Considering the size and scope of Islands of Nyne, Early Access allows us to involve the community throughout development and garner as much feedback as possible to ensure a polished and high-quality game upon full release. This allows the community to not only enjoy the game throughout the development process but be a part of it as well.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Islands of Nyne will remain in Early Access for approximately 1 year.”

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

“In addition to offering a wider variety of weaponry and items to loot, the following features are on our Islands of Nyne 1.0 roadmap:

  • Stable 100 player servers
  • A dedicated competitive mode promising reduced RNG
  • Skill-based rewards and achievements
  • A robust character customization system complete with a variety of character models to choose from
  • 2 more maps
  • Death cam replays
  • More custom server options
  • Detailed player profiles
  • General polish: balance tweaks, bug fixes, gameplay improvements, and optimizations

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Islands of Nyne has undergone extensive testing during its Pre-Alpha and Alpha phases throughout its years of development, and as such, its current state can be considered more polished than most titles on Early Access. Crashes should be extremely rare, performance on both the client-side and network should be comparable to most Early Access titles in the same genre if not better, and most importantly, gameplay is fun and relatively balanced. Despite its current state of polish, we will continue to closely monitor player experience so that we can respond to any bug reports or balance issues with haste. We don't sleep here at Define Human Studios.

In terms of features, our Early Access version offers player matchmaking lobbies, server side eSports tournament settings, a competitive ranking system, in-game squads & proximity VoiP, a robust Anti-Cheat, private servers, player stats, and global/friends-only leaderboards.”

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

“Price may increase moderately once out of early release.”

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

“We actively monitor our Discord and community forums and regularly send out surveys after a patch is rolled out. In addition to engaging with our community, we work closely with eSport professionals in the Battle Royale space and host developer vs community events to gather feedback on new features and further develop the game's meta. Community feedback is extremely valuable to us and we encourage all players to submit any they consider constructive to the game's betterment.”

A community driven First-Person-Only Battle Royale game with a core focus on fast-paced, skill-driven gameplay set in a sci-fi inspired universe where anything is possible. Drop in, find a weapon, and stay alive… for only 1 can emerge victorious. The rest must die!


Drop into massive, alien-built arenas and begin the frantic search for weapons and gear – all while trying to stay one step ahead of the advancing plasma field… or the sights of other contenders. Use your newly found gear to hunt down other players or inevitably face them during the final stages of the match – for The Nyne will only accept one victor. Do you have what it takes?


Designed by competitive gamers for competitive gamers, Islands of Nyne offers a balanced and exploit-free battle royale experience with its core focus on skill-driven progression and first-person-only gameplay.


Play Solo, team up with a friend in Duos, or queue up as a 4-player Squad – the choice is yours. Need to warmup? Spend your queue time mowing down other players in Gun-Game, or practice your recoil control offline in your very own shooting range.


Built by a technologically superior alien race, each arena is engineered to provide a unique and obstacle-ridden battlefield for players, designed to reward strategic thinking and tactical decision making.
