Introducing Deadswitch Combat
[p]DEADSWITCH COMBAT is the next game in the series, built from the ground up with a new engine and lots of new mechanics – and is launching in Early Access this month![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]FAQ[/h2][p]I've received quite a few questions about DSC vs DS3:[/p][h3]How similar is DSC to DS3?[/h3][p]As a Deadswitch 3 player, you will be very familiar with the gameplay of DSC. However, there are a lot of cool new features and mechanics like Sliding, Mantling, Drivable Vehicles, and much more in DSC.[/p][p]Customization has been massively expanded – including total character customization, weapon skins, attachment skins, custom laser & flashlight colors, and more![/p][h3]Why is DSC a new game, as opposed to updating DS3?[/h3][p]Development for DS3 started in 2019 and there have been a lot of tech advancements since then. As such, the older game engine is harder to optimize and would require a complete overhaul – starting fresh with a new game engine was ultimately the best decision.[/p][p]I also want to preserve DS3 in its current state without changing the underlying metas that exist.[/p][h3]Will DS3 still receive updates?[/h3][p]The short answer is YES – however these will most likely be performance oriented.[/p][h3]How can I submit suggestions and feedback for DSC?[/h3][p]The best way is to join the official Discord here![/p][p][/p][h2]Wishlist Now[/h2][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p]
