2017 is going to be awesome and we are psyched to announce that Racket: Nx Early Access 1 will be released on Steam on January 31 for the HTC Vive.
Racket: Nx is an Arcade Space Sport. Imagine playing racquet-ball in a 360 arena, with classic arcade-style game rules and influences. Now put that arena in outer space and you've got RNX.
Racket: Nx Early Access 1 is the first of three major Early Access updates we plan to release on Steam in 2017. Racket: Nx Early Access 1 features are:
* Single-Player mode
* Competitive Multiplayer mode
* Arcade mode (previously known as Training)
* A bunch of gameplay, visual and auditory improvements since the Demo
we released in 2016.
Each Early Access update will continue to expand the game with new features such as ranked play, replay options, spectator mode, level editing and sharing, etc. and we’ll also be routinely updating with gameplay tweaks and bug fixes. Our entire roadmap is public and we'll be keeping it alive and responsive as player feedback and design considerations develop. The full game will be released at the end of 2017.
Racket: Nx Early Access 1 will be priced at $19.99. Each Early Access update will see the price rise slightly, as we add more content and features to the game.
Our vision for Racket: Nx is to create the first eSports game for VR. That means making the physics tight and precise, encouraging players to always push the bar and improve their game. It means giving our all to the audio-visuals, making the game fun to play and to watch. It means introducing game elements that adds drama and make competitive games nail-biting. And above all, it means nurturing our community and treating our players with respect, trust and honesty.
On this note, we want to thank everyone who played the Racket: Nx demo. Thank you for your feedback, for posting videos, and for the overwhelmingly positive responses. You have made us and our partners, Waves Audio and Keshet International Gaming, believe in this vision and go all-in for it.
