Why Early Access?

“Usurper: Soulbound began as a collaborative effort with a talented 3D artist who helped shape the early game. Since entering Early Access, I’ve taken on the role of primary developer, handling most aspects of development on my own. As a solo developer, Early Access has been invaluable. It has allowed me to share updates with a dedicated (though small) player base and receive critical feedback to guide development. This direct connection with players drives the process forward, helping me refine mechanics, polish content, and ensure every update improves the experience. I believe involving the community in this way is the best path to creating a truly memorable game, and Usurper would not be where it is today without it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game has come a long way since its Early Access launch, and we’re now approaching the finish line. I plan to release the full version in 2025, but this will depend on final polish and player feedback. My focus is on ensuring that Usurper: Soulbound delivers the best experience possible.”

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

“The full version will complete the game’s content and polish. The final boss and ending have now been added, marking the completion of the core journey. However, feedback from Early Access players has always guided improvements, and I’m committed to making final tweaks based on the community’s input.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“

• The full single-player campaign is now playable, including the final boss and ending sequence.
  
• Local co-op is fully supported, and online play is available via Steam Remote Play Together.
  
• Three realms, each with two dungeon floors, unique enemies to possess, and challenging boss encounters.
  
• The final chapter and epic showdown with the final boss have been added.

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

“The price will not change during early access, but I plan to increase the price upon full release.”
