Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows you to participate in the game’s development. By supporting us, you will play a crucial part in the development of Road to Vostok and you can help us create the best hardcore survival game out there.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Road to Vostok is a long-term project, it's difficult to say how long it will take to process player feedback and further develop the game accordingly. The rough estimate for how long the game will be in Early Access would be somewhere around 2-4 years, but this estimate is very dependent on how many people are developing this game in the future.

In terms of content, the game will leave Early Access when every core feature is implemented and there's 20 maps, 10 shelters and 10 crossing points in the game.

You can learn more details about the scope and roadmap for this game by watching the Introduction | Devlog #1 | Road to Vostok on Youtube.”

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

“The full version will include more maps, more weapons, more items and more polished gameplay experience. The plan is also to create modding tools for the community and alternative game modes like Co-op.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version contains the core experience of the game, but there are still important features missing. The goal for the Early Access version is to provide believable and atmospheric game world with enjoyable shooting/looting mechanics.

Current state of the Early Access version (March 2024):
- 4 demo maps
- 1 crossing point
- 15 animated weapons
- 100 items
- Core FPS mechanics
- AI system
- Looting system
- Shelter system
- Trading system
- Medical system
- Permadeath elements”

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

“The price will increase after Early Access, but we can’t tell the exact pricing yet.”

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

“Players are welcome to give feedback, comments and suggestions. The main channel for the community will be on Discord, but Road to Vostok is also active on Youtube and Twitter, so make sure to follow the game in order to receive the latest news and updates.

There will also be two free public demos on Steam before the Early Access version:

These demos will include options to fill out forms and voting polls in order to give feedback and suggestions for the game. Links to these forms and polls are shared inside those demos and through game's website roadtovostok.com.
