Hey guys!
Thanks for being so patient, we've been wanting to make this announcement for a long while now and are happy to say that we can finally do so with full confidence.
Racket: Nx will be launching in Steam Early Access in late January 2017!
We know we promised late 2016, but this delay is due to us getting a new partner on board the project, securing our ambitions for the game's development over 2017.
The first Early Access release is going to include these major features:
* Competitive Multiplayer
* Single player mode (in addition to the current Training mode)
* Additional gameplay features
* A bunch of other stuff :)
We'll be releasing more information about these over the next couple of months, and an official public announcement will be made towards the launch date.
During 2017 we will continue to update the Early Access with content and features towards the full game release later that year. The main features we will be adding throughout 2017 are:
* More multiplayer modes
* A League system
* Level editor and other user generated content creation and sharing tools
* eSport features (observer mode, custom match settings, etc.)
* Sick music ;)
The main reason we're going for Steam Early Access is that we want to get something out there as soon as possible. First of all to see that people want it, but also to start getting feedback to help us understand which features to focus on, which features to dump, and just in general to tailor the game to the Vive community.
Since the Demo's release, we've been getting so much helpful feedback, ideas, and love from you guys here on Steam and on Reddit. It's really what made development on this game possible for us, motivating us immensely and inspiring confidence in our partners.
We'd like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your participation and efforts and we can't wait to start the Early Access process with you guys.
Let's go make the sickest game VR has seen!
Much love,
Niv, Usul, Boof, Matan, Dave, Bozar and Egozy.
