Hi everyone,
Quaaack! We are super excited and thrilled today - can’t believe that after almost 3 and half years of development of Blazing Beaks this is happening today. ːsteamhappyː No more days of looking at calendars and waiting - Blazing Beaks exits Early Access and v1.0 together with an awesome update is now available to everyone!
First of all, we want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who played the game, gave us cool ideas, suggestions, spread a word about the game and helped to make Blazing Beaks a better game. Knowing that you enjoy the game, seeing those incredible runs on the internet, funny reactions, personal records was a huge motivation to keep developing the game. Your support has been amazing and we always felt that you got our backs!
Gift for Early Access players
As a thank you we gifted DLC of Blazing Beaks OST for all Early Access purchasers for free.
Update 28
Blazing Beaks full release comes with an awesome Update 28. One and the most anticipated part in the Story mode was missing, but now we added it - the game has an ending.
We also updated Blazing Beaks Characters Editor and added all the weapons that are currently in the game to it. Editor is included in Blazing Beaks package and you can find in under Tools section in your Steam Library. As usually, you can also download it from our website: https://blazingbeaks.com/mods/
We plan to improve Blazing Beaks Editor and the whole modding system in the future based on some suggestions that we’ve got.
Also we updated https://blazingbeaks.com website and now it has daily run leaderboard. We will keep updating it so that it would have more functionality.

28 updates later…
During Early Access period, we made 28 updates. It’s funny to remember that the very first game version did not even have an inventory window, had very few items and artefacts and players still loved and enjoyed the game. We are really happy when we look back of what has been done throughout Early Access.

Future plans
It’s no doubt that we will support the game after full release. If any urgent fixes are needed we will try to push updates as soon as possible. On the other hand, we will focus on bigger content updates, but that means that they will come out not as quickly. We already have some plans for upcoming content. Feel free to suggest your ideas. We will try to prioritize the things that players want the most.
Thank you once again for all the support. We hope that Blazing Beaks game will remain quacking for a long years to come and will keep players happy. Enjoy playing it!
Best regards,
Blazing Beaks Team
