It has been 14 months since our first public announcement. The effort of 25+ developers, untold gallons of coffee, making thousands of new friends, and putting in tens of thousands of hours of gameplay testing, and were about to make our momentous launch on Steam, this December 15th, 2015.

 

 

 

The time has come, the Founders have laid claim to their titles, have rolled with us through thick and thin, and now we march out together to bring this to the world.

As of Midnight PST November 30th 2015, we are ending pre-purchasing of Squad. You have between now and the end of the month to pre-purchase the game at the Squad Leader Founder level, which grants you access to the following perks on Steam:

• Founder Patch in-game on your soldier (Delivery date TBD)
  
• Founder Tag in the Community Forums
  
• Exclusive Alternate Weapon Skins (AK74 and M4)
  
• Digital copy of the Squad soundtrack
  
• In-game name in Credits
  

Or at the Rifleman level, for USD 30.00.

We would like to thank every backer and founder that has helped us up to this point, without the financial and moral support of each and every one of you, development would have not been possible.

This next very important step to Steam Early Access launch will rely very heavily on this community to ensure all the newcomers experiences are as great as the ones we have already had over the Alpha period.

On Steam launch, those that have not pre-purchased will be able to purchase Squad and all future content for USD 39.99 via Steam. Going forward all content, past and present, will be open to all players.

For those that have backed us and pre-purchased, you will be receiving your Steam key via the Alpha Portal to redeem on Steam. So please check the Alpha Portal closer to release date.

 

 

 

In summary, there are 2 dates for you to remember:

• 30th November - End of all Pre-Purchasing
  
• 15th December - Release of Squad on Steam Early Access, retailing at USD 39.99.
  

 

Offworld Out.

Jesus christ, US$40.00 thats a bit steep....

Yeah I was expecting $30 at max, oh well I'll still probably be buying it anyway

its cheaper than a carton of beers and more enjoyable, only con is ZERO chance of taking home a lady... unless we have some post OP players around here these days.

Considering the long term view for this project, plus the possibility of a large amount of content and full mod support in comparison to most Main Stream Game releases priced anywhere from AUD70-100.

 

Infact I just looked at Walmart's (USA) website, Star Wars Battlefront, COD: Black Ops 3 and Fallout 4 are all USD59.90 each. Now I dont play Fallout so I can't comment on it but the other two games will have a number of DLCs released over the next 12 months costing around $15 dollars each, plus the base game, especially Battlefront, is lacking so much content (it has 5 maps, short gameplay).

 

Our conversion rate to USD isn't as good as it was in 2012, but there is perfectly good economic reasoning for that but thats an argument for another time.
