FAQ
Why Early Access?
“We believe The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth is a perfect candidate for Early Access. It is essentially a turn based tabletop game playable in VR and non-VR PC. As this is such a unique title, we would like as much feedback as possible from the Warhammer community before locking down a full release.”
Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth will be in early access for approx 6-8 months. When the final single player Act is completed, it will be ready for a full release.”
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“The initial Early Access release will not include the full game. Over the course of the Early Access release, we will make frequent updates until all aspects of the full game are represented.1) SINGLE PLAYER - The full version of the game will include a 5 Act single player story mode. When the Early Release launches, it will only include Act 1. The additional acts will be added periodically during Early Release similar to an "episodic" story game.
2) SKIRMISH - Single player "Skirmish" mode will be added so players can play multiplayer maps against the AI.
3) ADDITIONAL CONTENT- New playable units, weapons, maps and costumes will be added during Early Access.”
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“The game currently has Act 1 of the single player mode and 5 multiplayer maps. Music, Animation, Art, Gameplay is final for this content.”
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“Early Access will be listed at a reduced price.”
How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“We plan on addressing notes and suggestions through the Steam community pages as well as on our Facebook and other social media pages. We want to make the best game possible by listening to our Early Access community.”
Note : They have some experience releasing VR game. I don't have a VR setup but a friend of mine tried their Other game : Quar and he said it was really good.
