Hello Citizens,
We come today with amazing news - perhaps best expressed through a very flashy, brand new trailer:
That's right - we're launching next Tuesday, February 11th, into Early Access! We'll be launching at 1pm EST / 10am PST / 6pm UTC. All previous backers of the game will receive a steam key for early access as well. Plus, an updated demo is out now! This features lots of gameplay changes we collected from the NextFest based on player feedback. Here's a small sampling of changes:
- Substantial fixes to combat + animation improvements - combat is now less "hack and slashy" and more diversified and integrated with the game's stealth system. There are now different combos and types of attacks, and more of an integration for secondary weapons.
- Enemy AI improvements and fixes, including enemy "detection" for stealth. Much smarter than before!
- Complete stealth system overhaul - detailed further in tutorial
- "Focus" Mode (the hacking mode) now gives additional information, such as hard to see traps, stealth detection alarms, and more
- State/Upgrade System, to spend hard-earned cash on and customize your gameplay style
- Collect lore, furniture, and other trophies in your whisper hideout
- Substantial polish and design changes to level layouts, animations, and more [*[ New introductory sequence(s) and lots of new cutscenes and gameplay sequences
- Redesigned side content and bonus routes in each biome
Here's what to expect from the Early Access release:
- Roughly 5-7 hours of content, and substantial bonus content (about 50-60% of the overall game)
- 6 chapters of the story, each containing a large biome (interconnected to the main world), each capped off with one boss
- Completely and fully voiced content by our star-studded cast of David Hayter, Christopher Randolph, Jennifer Hale, and more
Note that our job is never done. We continue to make changes and fixes based on player feedback throughout Early Access - feedback is one of our #1 goals in Early Access and we are excited to see what everyone thinks of the game. Below are some screenshots of some of our many changes since you last saw us - see you next Tuesday!
