Hey, members of the resistance!

It’s official: Prelude Dark Pain Early Access launches on July 27th! 

For the Early Access release, all of Act 1 will be available, including 9 heroes, 63 skills unlockable for your team and access to the World Map!

Watch our Trailer:

We will display more information about the Early Access, its content and lenght, on the release day with our upcoming FAQ! That's why if you have any questions, share them in the comments or in our Discord so we can answer them!

TactiCon Participation

We’re also participating in the TactiCon event, a digital celebration of strategy games on Steam! Don’t hesitate to check out the featured games which have demos and sales. Don't hesitate to wishlist the tactical games that caught your eye!

Development update and SNF feedback

Steam Next Fest was super fun for us, and we were delighted to read your reviews and feedback on the demo! Here are some interesting numbers we previously shared:

On the development side, we have 2 main focus: delivering the most bug-free and best experience for Early Access: all content is there, we’re testing mostly to get rid of bugs and check our recent improvements made thanks to the SNF feedback (for example the clarity of the Initiative Queue, better tooltips, better UI and control…).

The Initiative Queue was reworked to improve readability.

Better display of information with enemies attack range.

Our second main objective is to make progress on Act 2, which we’ve already started a few months ago. Regarding Act 2, we’ve also started on iterating on the new heroes that will join your team... but we keep this secret for now!

Thank you for all your support! We’ve already made several changes to elements that were pointed out in our feedback, we are currently hosting our last playtest before Early Access to gather even more information and make this launch the best possible!

Stay tuned for what’s next and see you on July 27th!
