    [​IMG]After being in beta for a while, For The King will be available in Early Access on the 28th of this Month.

    Greetings! As some of you may know, For The King will be launching into Early Access on Steam on February 28th! For those who didn't get to try out the Beta, this will be a perfect time to have an adventure or two. And for those who did try the Beta, there are significant and exciting updates since the last official Beta release.

    How will I receive my Key for Early Access?

    Those with Beta keys can continue to play with their same key. Early Access will be replacing the Beta version in Steam so apart from a quick update, the process should be seamless.

    Those who pledged at The Traveler tier will be receiving their key via BackerKit. BackerKit will email you directly with a perma-link to your BackerKit. You should already have this link (it's the same one you used to fill out the post Kickstarter survey). But just in case you don't, be on the lookout for a BackerKit email on Tuesday.

    What if I ordered a GOG Key? Will I still get to play in Early Access?

    You bet! We're sending everyone a Steam Early Access key, regardless of your platform preference. Those who wanted a GOG key will receive a temporary Steam Key. Then, once FTK is up on GOG, we'll send you your permanent GOG key.

    How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

    The full version will add support for a balanced 2 player adventure (currently only the single player and 3 player coop adventures have been balanced). New loot and equipment, including the majority of Kickstarter Backer items will be slowly introduced throughout Early Access. The final version will also contain the Frost Realm and Jungle Realm, along with new enemies and encounters. We'll also be unlocking several Points of Interest like the Warrior's Arena, The Mage Dungeon, The Water Temple, and more.

    In addition, we'll also be adding support for Steam Trading Cards, Steam Achievements, Cloud Saves and language support for French, Spanish, German, Italian, and possibly Russian.

    What is the current state of the Early Access version?

    The core adventure is complete from beginning to end and the first couple Acts have received significant polish and balancing. Currently only the single player and 3 player coop adventures have been tuned. All cooperative modes can be played both locally and online. There are still some rough edges which we'll be polishing based on your feedback and we'll be adding new content up to and beyond our full release. The Lore Store (which contains persistent unlockables) is functioning but will grow significantly in size prior to full release.​
