Why Early Access?
The Tribe Must Survive will spend its first three months in early access, and this time will be used to fine-tune the game balance as well as act on community feedback received during that period. This will lead to the best possible version of the game in Q2, along with some additional planned content.
The Importance of Community:
Starbreeze “build community by making games” - and for The Tribe Must Survive this is a key driver of the Early Access period. Building a strong community will serve as a superpower for content creation, game direction, creating the right atmosphere, and building a tribe around the game to support the full release.
Early Access is more than just a phase for "The Tribe Must Survive”. The aim is to foster a collaborative partnership between players and the developers at Walking Tree Games that continues beyond the full release. With the valuable feedback from the community on gameplay mechanics and balance, as well as other improvements, this will contribute to the best possible version of the game for its final release - which is the top priority!
The Tribe Must Survive
There’s no single way to survive, and each tribe will have different advantages and troubles for the player to solve driven by the tribe members' behaviors. The game is made to be a challenge, though each failure only serves to bring you closer to the next success.
