Why Early Access?

“At New Blood we pride ourselves on building our games WITH our community of players and Gloomwood is no different. Since our initial demo in 2020 and Early Access launch in 2022 we have incorporated player feedback into the development of Gloomwood and aim to continue doing that throughout the rest of the game's development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Gloomwood will remain in Early Access until it is considered both content complete and polished in a state we consider v1.0. There is no estimated time for how long that will take but given the amount of game left to be built and our Early Access track record with games like DUSK, AMID EVIL and ULTRAKILL it will be several years.”

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

“The full version of Gloomwood will contain every district of the game world as well as every weapon, item, enemy and feature that is not yet in the Early Access version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Gloomwood is a very polished amount of the game that contains the fishery, cliffside caves, mines, cliffs, tavern, lighthouse, market district, power station and hive parts of the game world. There is also a 'Mirror Realm' connecting these sections. All these areas, as well as the visuals, mechanics, items, weapons and enemies present within them, are in a state polished enough for a commercial release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The game will start at an introductory price of $19.99 USD during Early Access and work its way up to $29.99 USD for a v1.0 release. Buy early, save more - taffer.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We always involve our community in the creation of our games and we invite players to voice feedback on the Steam forums as well as in our Discord server at Discord.gg/NewBlood so that we can incorporate their feedback into our development process.”
