Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen Update #23 – Combat Beta Incoming

It’s been a while since we last heard about Ceres Games’ turn and party-based CRPG Realms Beyond: Ashes of the Fallen that was successfully Kickstarted back in 2018. This project update changes things by informing us that in just a few days, on May 15, 2020, the eligible backers will get access to a playable combat demo of Realms Beyond. The demo will include significantly more content than originally planned and will serve as a stepping stone of sorts for the game’s early access release.

Here’s more on that:

Finally, we can announce the release date of the Combat Beta!

This first playable version of Realms Beyond will be available next Friday, the 15th of May 2020 for all backers at that tier. You’ll receive a Steam Key via email from backerKit.

For backers whose rewards include only the Early-Access or the release version itself, please be informed that the Combat Beta evolved significantly further than originally planned. Divergent to the original idea of demonstrating only the combat system, we decided to implement most of the other game components as well (namely the dialogue system, quests, journal, mini map, script, chests, doors, trading, etc.).

Therefore, the development time from this version to the next release, the Early-Access, will be much shorter than originally scheduled.

As soon as we delivered the Combat Beta, we’ll create a gameplay video for all backers without direct access to this version.

We would like to note that the Combat Beta is still a beta version, with all the flaws that entails.

Many thanks for your patience and understanding!
