Full Release Date Announcement!
After two years of Early Access and many updates, we're preparing for the biggest update yet, moving the game into Full Release. We're thrilled to announce the full release date as the 25th of August, 2023!
[h2]Recapping Our Progress[/h2]
The game entered Early Access with six arenas and will transition to Full Release with a total of 12. Initially, we had 31 units and 5 bosses; at Full Release, we will have 68 units and 15 bosses. The number of quirks and items will more than double. We began with side quests for the first six arenas only, but now the game will feature both main and side quests for all 12 arenas. We've introduced a new mode called "Tournament Mode" and enhanced the level editor to allow for the addition of both items and quirks to the gladiators. The game's content will more than double compared to its Early Access stage once the Full Release update rolls out.
[h2]Price Change[/h2]
We're also planning to update the price of the game from $9.99 to $11.99 in about a week. This change is in anticipation of the Full Release, but we need to make it now so that Steam allows us to discount the game at the Full Release as well. If you haven't done so yet, now is an excellent opportunity to purchase the game while it's still $9.99 and enjoy a discount until the 24th of August.
[h2]Future[/h2]
Full release does not mean end of all updates. We still have new things that we want to add in the game. But full release will mean that we are able to call the game complete as all 12 arenas and story lines are finished.
[h2]Thank you![/h2]
We want to express our deepest thanks to all who have stuck with us on this long journey. It took us three years to develop the Early Access version of the game and another two to reach Full Release. We'll continue to keep you updated on the development process. We'll likely offer beta access to the new continent when it's ready. Please join us on Discord and hang out with us during this final phase of development.
Cheers!
