Originally scheduled for release on Steam Early Access today, Focus Home Interactive and developer Vostok Games have announced their Battle Royale FPS Fear the Wolves will be delayed for a few weeks after receiving feedback from participants in the Closed Beta. The new Early Access launch date is yet to be announced, however, the closed beta will continue to run until the new date allowing players to continue their exploration of the devastated Chernobyl.
The developers released the following press release:
“We’ve already seen tens of thousands of players battling in Fear the Wolves over the last week of the Closed beta. We are delighted that players are satisfied with the core combination of classic Battle Royale gameplay with original mechanics – particularly the players vs. environment, radiation hazards, dynamic weather, and unique end-of-game extraction system.
The positive community feedback encouraged us to delay the release of the Early Access to ensure the well-received core experience isn’t marred by technical issues. On top of fixing these issues, this delay will also allow us to further improve other aspects of the game, thanks to the masses of data and player feedback gathered through testing.
We anticipate that the extra development time will raise Fear The Wolves’ quality to a level at which players will be able to fully experience it’s unique atmosphere.”
Fear the Wolves should arrive on Steam Early Access later this summer and is set for full release in 2019.
