Why Early Access?

“Bringing SYNTHETIK 1 to the public early had helped a lot in making it the best it can be and unending positive changes have been made in many patches since then, we want to continue this community driven iterative process and bring people on-board as fast as possible!
With SYNTHETIK 2 we switched the engine and completely re-engineered everything, now is the chance to jump on board and shape the development together and with UniversEdit you also actually have our tools!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The full release is planned to be end 2023 / start 2024.
When exactly has yet to be determined and also depends on your feedback and the state of the game but we are determined to make this happen and not stretch things out too far.”

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

“There will be more of everything, the new mainboard system will be rolled out, more general content in terms of environments and bosses plus expanding and polishing up the existing systems based on feedback. More classes are also to come and an expanded late game. We also plan on gradually rolling out our new modding features and a workshop. Please Check out our Roadmap for all details!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is already rich on features and will mostly require more polish and content, however with UniversEdit you can quickly create, download and share your own!

It already contains many new features, 7 styles of environments, varied Police and Machine Military Faction units, many deep new ways to upgrade, class specializations, a next level modding editor and in general a much higher bar for quality.
The features in the description reflect the EA release version.”

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

“During early-access the game will be cheaper than at launch as a reward for helping the development, the price is planned to stay constant while in early access.”

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

“With our big new Synthetik Universe Community Hub on our website, Steam Forums and Discord, you will have a lot of opportunities to jump in! You can even create new things or suggestions with the integrated UniversEditor and share them with us!”
