However, given the massive scope of the game and nature of its systems, we expect some bugs and unusual edge cases to be encountered for the first time at the launch of Early Access. “The game is in a very advanced state of development and functionally complete with a full suite of features, cases, content and a complete Sandbox Mode, beyond what you may usually expect from an Early Access title. What is the current state of the Early Access version? You can see the roadmap on the Steam page below!” We are currently planning to add new content such as new and improved cases, new locations and new citizen interaction options, along with a more rounded and polished game experience.

“The full version of Shadows of Doubt will include additional content and optimisations that will be introduced throughout Early Access. How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

Check the roadmap on the store page to see what is planned!” “We are now looking at extending early access through to 2024 after the game's successful launch and after all the feedback we have received for what people want to see in the game.

We’ll also be adding additional content, along with further technical optimisations and balancing improvements that player feedback will help us shape.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? Given the massive scope of the game and the nature of its AI systems, launching in Early Access first allows us to identify any unusual edge case issues that may be discovered and react to them during a non-final version of the game, rather than have players discover them in what is considered to be a ‘final’ release. Being open and transparent, we’ve had a lot of serious discussions about how and when to launch the game. “Shadows of Doubt has been in development for many years, so we didn’t take the decision to launch into Early Access lightly.
