Everything You Need to Know About Achilles: Survivor's Early Access Release

Dark Point Games is back, and they're expanding their Achilles franchise! After the official release of the Achilles: Legends Untold and the latest 1.6.0 update, the team is looking to branch out into a new genre — the survivor genre inspired by poncle's highly successful Vampire Survivors with their newest entry, Achilles: Survivor.

Here's everything you need to know about the Early Access release!

Why Did Achilles: Survivor Release to Early Access?

The answer is pretty simple: Dark Point Games sees the Early Access release of Achilles: Survivor as a stepping stone, allowing them to create a title that "excites both us and our players". To this end, the team intends to build on the title from its original Early Access release to build it into something that everyone can enjoy.

How Long Will Achilles: Survivor Be in Early Access?

Unlike most titles that enter Early Access nowadays, Achilles: Survivor is expected to leave Early Access within 2025 itself, meaning that the team anticipates a few months of development before leaving their pre-release state.

That said, it is entirely possible that this timeframe may shift, as the team is looking to gather player feedback and adapt their development goals accordingly.This could mean that Achilles: Survivor's full launch might be delayed into 2026, but at the current moment, the team is looking to a swift release schedule.

What Will Be Different in Achilles: Survivor's Final Version?

The current state of the game includes all of the core mechanics that will define the core gameplay loop, giving players the feel for Achilles: Survivor, including building structures, character progression, and combat.Moving forward, the team is looking to polish these areas and offer a better-balanced experience, including expanded content in all of theareas.

Here are a few of the changes the team highlighted for their Early Access pipeline:

• Expanded content in all areas
• Additional features
• Additional content
• Refinements based on player feedback

This means that, ultimately, Achilles: Survivor is pretty deep into development in terms of features and content, as though Dark Point Games doesn't highlight specific details, it's evident from the approach and the expected pre-release launch period.

Will Achilles: Survivor's Price Increase in Full Release?

At this point in time, it hasn't been entirely decided whether the price will increase for Achilles: Survivor at the end of its Early Access cycle. Depending on the amount of features and content added throughout the pre-release period, the team will make a decision, but the pricing should remain competitive to other survivors.
