Why Early Access?

“We are a small development team from Finland and massive fans of competitive Battle Arena games. Over time, it became clear that Early Access was the best way to keep working on the game while collaborating with and growing our Community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We don't have an exact date, but our goal is to be out of EA within 6-12 months.”

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

“We are starting Early Access with the core game experience in place. Nine of the fifteen heroes will be unlocked without purchase. We are looking for feedback in almost every area, especially in the primary game mode, currently called 'Conquest.'

We believe the full game will feature a much more extensive roster of heroes, new game modes/maps, cosmetic skins, robust organized play features such as lobbies, and player spectator features. We will continue to adapt our roadmap as player feedback comes in.  ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently features the primary game mode, a short tutorial, a proving ground for testing characters, the initial 15 heroes, minions, towers, and the rune system. Very soon after the Kingshunt early access launch, we will ask for your input on our upcoming maps and game mode(s), which we are very excited to share. Further, there will be new heroes coming.”

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

“We made the ultimate decision to make the game free-to-play. We believe the shift to free-to-play will remove barriers-to-entry for a larger population of players. The change will ensure low queue times and create a more balanced and fair match.”

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

“We welcome all players to our Discord server where we will continue to collect feedback and discuss game features directly while participating in Community activities like trivia nights, friendly competitions, and much more. Our creator program will also be accessible there. Along with Discord, the Steam news page and forums will be our primary way to interact with our growing Community. Over the next few months, we are planning to begin regular update blogs, AMA's, and developer live streams.”
