Phageborn – Road to Early Access

We would like to extend a warm welcome to our humble abode here at Steam. Hopefully, many of you have already put us on your wishlist, but to those that haven't done it yet, we would like to kindly ask them to add us because certain benefits await those that will be the first to know when the game is out. It is widely known that early birds catch the worms and the same will apply for Phageborn players.

Added us? Great!

Now that that's out of the way, we would like to share with you a bit about us, what are our plans leading up to Early Access and some other useful info for our fans.

To those that are not familiar with us, we are a small independent studio hailing from Zagreb - the capital of Croatia (you know, the one with the beautiful sea and the one that stole your hearts at last years football World Cup). We're comprised of 16 enthusiastic individuals that are currently hard at work on delivering our ambitious vision for a card game experience that will feel familiar and unique at the same time.

Phageborn is, quite literally, made for card gamers - by card gamers! It was (phage)born out of love for all manner of card games many of us have been playing since we were kids. That love persisted over the years and still lasts even to this day when we are older and wiser, only now we have the necessary knowledge to assemble a card game that would at the same time appeal to veteran card gamers like us and attract newcomers to the genre.

Although the impending release window is fairly close, we have a lot to share over the coming months.



We'll be attending Reboot Develop Blue - one of the most prolific gamedev conferences in the world which takes place in Dubrovnik (the town you probably know as King's Landing) where we'll be showcasing one of the most exciting features of our game which is the 2v2 multiplayer mode. We're very excited about that and can't wait to hear the first impressions and get some quality feedback. Bear in mind that we can't wait to hear your impressions and feedback as well so worry not, for we will show everyone a glimpse of 2v2 action shortly after the conference via a gameplay trailer.



We are also actively working on bringing you people the much requested gameplay trailer for Phageborn. Screenshots, artworks and dev blogs are cool and all, but we understand that gameplay footage matters the most. We are happy to inform you that work is underway on that front and that we are aiming to release it not long after Reboot Develop Blue 2019 finishes.



We have a special treat in store for the fans that have been supporting us since our inception as a studio. A substantial pool of people that have applied for the Phageborn beta last year and before that will get the chance to try out the game before the game enters Early Access. Those that have been with us from the very start have no need to fret because we are committed to rewarding long-term loyalty. The closed beta for Phageborn will be held about a month before Early Access. We'll be sending out emails to our early applicants with all the necessary information in a matter of days.

And that's about it. For now! This is a shortlist of some of our most notable engagements leading up to Early Access. There will be some other things and content we don't want to spoil just yet – something needs to be left for surprise! :) As soon as we'll have any important news to share, we'll put it up immediately so make sure to stay tuned to our channels in order to stay up to date on all things Phageborn. If you have any questions and you wish to contact us, please feel free to do so!

'Till next time,
Ivan from the Phageborn team
