Call to Arms: Panzer Elite - What Is Early Access?
[h3]![]()
Hello everyone, [/h3][p]We’re excited to share some news on Call to Arms: Panzer Elite & what you can expect with Early Access. Before diving in, we’d like to set the stage by explaining who we are, what Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is (and isn’t), and what you can expect going forward. [/p][p][/p][h3]Who We Are [/h3][p]Digitalmindsoft is an independent studio whose roughly 25, mostly veteran developers share a great passion for tactical and immersive combat gameplay. Starting with Men of War (2009) and both Men of War: Assault Squad titles (2011 / 2014), we were finally able to establish our own IP with Call to Arms (2018). [/p][p]Together with our brothers in arms at Barbed Wire Studios, we co-developed Call to Arms: Gates of Hell (2021), utilizing over 15 years of experience and continuous improvements in it. We are deeply grateful for our ongoing partnership, and while development on Gates of Hell progresses independently, there will be continued opportunities for collaboration and shared expertise as both projects move forward.

[/p][h3]What Early Access Means [/h3][p]Early Access means the game is still in development and not yet in a finished state. Bugs and incomplete content will be present, but this is the perfect opportunity to help shape the game's future. [/p]![]()
"Overhead view of Campaign Mission Schöneberg"[/p][p][/p][h3]When Is Early Access[/h3][p]We will have additional info in the coming days so stay tuned! [/p][p] [/p][h3]Call to Arms: Panzer Elite Pricing[/h3][p]Standard Edition - $29.99 [/p][p]Deluxe Edition Upgrade - $19.99 [/p][p]Supporter Bundle - $49.98 - 10% (includes both Standard & Deluxe Edition)[/p][p]
We will offer a Supporter Bundle at 10% off for those who wish to contribute even further to the game’s development and it already includes the Deluxe Edition upgrade!
You may ask why we are releasing a DLC during Early Access. The reason is simple: we are already planning and working on a Deluxe Edition for the full release, and we believe it would be unfair to withhold content from our early supporters who are already helping us during this phase.[/p][p]To be transparent about our plans, the DLC is available at a reduced price during Early Access, and some of its content is already included for you to enjoy. Our philosophy is that the earlier you support us, the less you should have to pay for the game.[/p][p]To make things even better, Early Access will launch with an additional 10% discount during the first week!
[/p][p]Price can vary from region to region If you purchase during Early Access you own the game during & after Early Access. [/p][p][/p][h3]Roadmap Plans [/h3][p]Instead of locking ourselves into rigid promises now, we want to listen to your feedback first to help shape the game’s development. We’ve already heard from our testers and are working on quality of life improvements such as a checkpoint system, bug fixes, balancing adjustments, more missions, additional tanks, new maps, and polishing existing systems and assets like sounds.
[/p][p]There will be many updates in the coming days / weeks after launch with fixes and changes. The game is in active development and we plan to work with the community along the development path. We will have more detailed roadmap plans shortly after launch.[/p][p]Please don’t feel pressured to buy the game right now if you’re unsure about its current state. Early Access means the game is still evolving, so it’s perfectly okay to wait until it’s more polished or has the features you want. There’s no rush take your time and join us when it feels right for you. If you’re uncertain whether the game fits your playstyle or expectations, we recommend checking out streams and videos from content creators to get a clearer picture before deciding.
[/p][p]This is the beginning of a journey we’re embarking on together. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts and see how the game evolves with your involvement. Thank you for supporting us and joining us in Early Access! [/p][p]See you on the battlefield! [/p]
