Why Early Access?

“9DKA is a game project started from March 2018 that planned to provide various martial-art contents including our current game mode, the battle royal mode, and our project will be based on a martial-art concept, online gameplay, and PVP content.

After the off-line Alpha test from October 2018 in Korea, we’ve managed bugfix and extra development work to compensate the balance part. Now, we’re trying to build a community that can bind developer and player to provide the best fun to people before the official launch.

We strongly believe that Early Access is the best environment for forming the aforementioned community and expect to communicate with users around the world through the process of Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“9DKA will take 6 to 8 months to be officially launched on Steam. By that time, it will contain at least more than two different game mode and massive updates based on feedbacks from the community.”

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

“We anticipate that the version at the time of official launch date will be much different than the version of Early Access in all areas.
The official version of game will contain various new items & Characters, global leaderboard, massive graphic resource updates and social features. We will also share our plans and thoughts regarding to this schedule on community to improve the game even further.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently there are:
- Martial-Art Battle Royal mode
- 50 players at each game play
- 30+ in-game items including weapon & etc
- over 15 landmarks & ruins in game map

We’ve developed 90% of our game version for early access and we’re going to fill the rest parts based on supporter’s feedback from the community.”

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

“Yes, 9DKA will offer reduced game prices to supporters who are recruited via Early Access, as well as limited edition characters and rewards to supporters for their official launch version.”

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

“Developments through working with the user community are the ultimate goal of the Early Access phase, and 9DKA plans to communicate with each other on a variety of topics to provide a unique experience by the gameplay.


Based on supporter’s experience with 9DKA's underlying combat balance, we will listen to the feedback collected to ensure a stable and reasonable balance is provided within the game
In addition, through regular developer & user meetings held on the official discords channel, the overall balance including various topics will continue to be discussed.


After releasing the full description of the development schedule for Early Access and the details for each key agenda, we will gather your feedback to ensure that 9DKA is in the right direction. And I think you can see that in the future, the process of formal launch is based on your opinion.


In addition to feedback from your gaming experience, we will continue to address possible bugs through constant internal censorship. Of course, the role of the community in the process is very important, so we will collect feedback and process modifications as transparent as possible through the actual development process.”
