Hello Chasers, this is the KurtzPel Team.


We have an exciting announcement to make.
Something all of you have been waiting for, the release date of Early Access!


On April 30th 2019 at 09:00 PDT (April 30th 2019 16:00 UTC+0), Early Access will be available for Americas (North/South).
After that, Europe will become available early June and Asia will be available early July.


As you all know well, KurtzPel is a fast-paced, online multiplayer game with a strong emphasis on PvP. That being said, a stable, strong connection between players is very important, and in order to provide Chasers the best service possible, we have to prioritize each region separately, and in order to do that, we have to open access region by region.

Physical server locations for a PvP game are extremely important. Based on the CBT data we’ve collected, for North America, we will have server locations on both the West & East coasts.
Brazil will host the server for South America, and act as the central hub.

The location and size of each of these servers will be tweaked as Early Access progresses.
Our prime goal will be to make the KurtzPel play experience be as smooth as possible, for all our players.
In order to provide the best experience, we will not be allowing cross region play and also transferring of data from one region to another.

Though North and South America will be launching first, players from Europe and Asia need not fret!
For players in Europe (June 2019) and Asia (July 2019), we would like to apologize for the delay, but we will do our best to bring you KurtzPel as soon as possible.
We will be consistently and constantly updating KurtzPel after the Early Access release, and we will continue to improve the content and playability of the game.

With the upcoming release of Europe and Asia, we will be localizing the game for players in those regions.
For South America, we will be adding ‘Brazil – Portuguese’ and ‘LATAM – Spanish’ for our localization line-up.


We want to also discuss the payment model of KurtzPel.
In order to allow everyone to be able to experience KurtzPel, the core content of the game will be Free to Play!
In the spirit and history of the quality games we produce at KOG, all players will be able to enjoy the core content of KurtzPel PVE & PVP for free.

In future updates, addtional Karma and Costumes will be available for purchase in the form of DLC on the Steam Store Page, or they’ll be added to the in-game Item Shop to be purchased directly.
These will be cash purchase options. The price and content of these will be revealed in the future.


Lastly, Founder’s Packs for KurtzPel are currently in the works, and they will mainly consist of ‘Additional’ Karmas’ and ‘Exclusive Costumes set’ that can only be acquired by purchasing the Founder’s Pack. The details of the Founder’s Packs will be available at a later date.


It has already been a year and a half since we showcased KurtzPel to the World, and we would like to thank each and every one of you for taking this journey with us.
We’re ecstatic to have you all here with us, being as excited about the official launch of KurtzPel as we are.
We owe all of this to each of you, and we promise to improve and polish KurtzPel as we move forward. With your love of the game and constant feedback, we will achieve great things!

Thank you.

Hello Chasers, this is the KurtzPel Team.

We would like to thank each and every one of you for following KurtzPel.

We have notified everyone that KurtzPel’s early access will be launching in the 1st Quarter of 2019 on Steam and through our Livestream.
However, as you may have already guessed, we will have to delay the launch date by a little longer.

We originally planned to fix major bugs from CBT and release Early Access sometime in March, but once we received everyone’s feedback, we realized that we had more work to do than we initially anticipated.

We are currently polishing the good and removing the bad from KurtzPel while adding new functions in the game based on your feedback.

There will also be some features that won’t make it to the Early Access version but we will be sure to keep everyone looped in on the development progress and possible target launch dates.

Even though we cannot give you an exact date of the Early Access, we promise to release KurtzPel in the first half of Q2 and will be sharing more details on the early access, such as exact date, price model, and regions, in the near future.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and would like to thank everyone for showing their support for KurtzPel.

KurtzPel - jeff
Hello Chasers, this is the KurtzPel Team.

We have an exciting announcement to make!

First, we would like to thank everyone for your continued interest and support for the KurtzPel Global CBT.
I’m sure everyone is wondering about when the CBT will actually begin and when the keys will be distributed.
So we are here to answer these questions.
The following are schedules for the CBT and keys distribution:

KurtzPel Global CBT Key Distribution Date: Feb 13th 2019
KurtzPel Global CBT Schedule: February 20th, 2019 PST ~ February 24th, 2019 PST (5 Days)

The received keys can be registered on your Steam library immediately even before February 20th.
So you can play KurtzPel the moment it goes live!

Along with this exciting announcement, we unfortunately have one bad news.
Initially, we announced that we will be distributing 2 keys per registered e-mail so you can play with your friends.
However, due to the overwhelming amount of registration for the CBT, we will not be able to send the promised 2 CBT keys.
Instead, we will be sending 1 key per registered player.

Please alert your friends to register, especially if they were expecting to receive your spare key.
Make sure they register through our site in order to ensure that they receive their own CBT keys.

We would like to thank everyone again for your support towards KurtzPel and we hope to meet you soon in Eltheca!

Thank you.
