Necesse News

Hey everyone!

Some of you have been asking for the Necesse OST. I am happy to say it is now available on Steam and on a 20% launch discount for those who want to get it or just show a bit of extra support.
As the game gets more tracks, they will of course be added to the OST as well.

I'll get back to working on the graphics update. We'll tease more of it soon and we're super excited to get it out. So stay tuned! :)

Have a great weekend!

Thank you for all the feedback on the latest update! This small patch is to address some of that, and since the update, we have been pushing out small hotfixes for issues you have reported. Those are also listed here and we will keep doing that after this patch :)

Until next time!

Hey everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the update!

Necesse is currently on sale at 33% off. Necesse has grown a ton since its early access release. Not only in content and features, but also from just myself working on it to now a full team. We're closing in on the complete graphics overhaul update which will be the next update. More on that soon :)

We wanted to give everyone a heads up that after this sale, in 2 days, the price of the game will be increased to 14.99$ USD (with other currencies increasing proportionally). If you or your friends have been holding off on getting the game and want to get it at the current price, now would be the time to do so.

Thank you for the support! We're excited to bring you more updates :)

A quick reminder before the update: When using mods it's a good idea to back up your saves. If you are experiencing problems you can still switch to an older version of the game by going to your Steam library -> Right-click Necesse -> Properties -> Betas -> Select the version -> Close the window and you will see it downloading the old version. Note: Older versions may have trouble loading new version saves.

Hey everyone!

The next content update is here! This time we have prepared a trailer showcasing some of the major features and content. You can of course always check out the full patch notes below :)

Enjoy!

We also released our first ever 1.0 live roadmap, you can see it on our steam store page or click the image below:



We've also run a poll on our social media platforms, asking you all which of the major updates from our roadmap you were the most excited about.

In fact! We just shared a new poll yesterday, where you, our players, get to vote on a new weapon coming in the next update!



As the graphics update gets closer, we will also have more to share. This month we posted a couple of teasers. A small trailer showcasing some of our new water effects and then a bigger graphics teaser on Youtube, displaying some new features as well! Check them out below:
