Early Access is Available Now!

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Fellows, the time has finally come... Fellowship, the first-ever multiplayer online dungeon adventure (“MODA”) is available now in Steam Early Access! Get Fellowship now to see how it takes fan-favorite elements of MMOs, MOBAs and ARPGs to give you an epic co-op dungeon running adventure. Those who embark on this adventure from the very beginning of Early Access will be able to experience the core vision of Fellowship: all dungeon runs, all the time – giving you the action you want right from the start.  [/p][p]Today’s launch is a big moment for us, but it marks just the beginning for Fellowship, as the game will evolve thanks to YOUR feedback. It’s important to note that by going into Early Access, Fellowship is still in active development and not in its final state yet -- with some elements, including localization, to be changed and improved over time. You may even see new, work-in-progress Heroes and Dungeons get added in! Over the course of Early Access, Fellowship will get even better as we develop our game alongside you. We encourage you to give as much feedback as possible as we want to make Fellowship the best it can be before we’re ready for it to fully launch into 1.0 next year! [/p][p]To celebrate today’s Early Access launch, Fellowship is on sale for 10% off its Early Access launch price of $24.99 from today until October 23. Players who’d love to show their support for our studio (Chief Rebel) and Fellowship’s development can also get the Supporter Edition for Fellowship via Steam, which includes the Early Access version of the game along with three Supporter Packs -- with each pack granting three exclusive armor skins and one exclusive mount. The packs are available individually for $19.99 each, all together in a Supporter Pack Set bundle for $39.99 (does not include the Fellowship game SKU) and available in Fellowship’s Supporter Edition for $59.99 (the game and all Supporter Packs purchased together).

As a new, indie studio, we’ve poured our heart and soul into getting to this point, so we’re absolutely thrilled to have you all jump in the game in Early Access and for newcomers to jump in too. While today is a big moment for all of us, today’s Early Access launch really is just the beginning of Fellowship, as this ambitious and new title of ours will be a constantly evolving adventure that we’ll build together with all of you.  [/p][p]With Fellowship being our first title as a studio, we’re first just really excited to involve the community (you all!) even more directly with the development of our game. But we know many of you might be wondering what’s to come after today’s launch. We have several plans in-mind for content and features for the Early Access period of the game and beyond, but we will make adjustments if we hear that there’s something that you all really want to see. Following today’s launch, our first order of business to focus on getting as much feedback as possible and primarily focus on quality of life improvements along with bug fixes and game balancing. Once we’ve had a chance to review all feedback and make sure things are running as smoothly as possible, we then plan to share a roadmap that details what’s in the pipeline for new features over the next few months. [/p][p]At the moment, Fellowship is planned to be in Early Access for approximately six months, but this can change depending on community feedback – as we will strive to discover what the community wants in Fellowship to help shape it into the best possible game it can be before it enters 1.0 launch next year. [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Now there’s a few key things you should know before jumping into the Early Access version of Fellowship!
