Why Early Access?

“Mud and blood titles have always been developed closely with the community. Mud and Blood steam is a product of 12 years of feedback and iterations with our most dedicated users. Continuing on this tradition, Mud and Blood steam edition is fortunate enough to have a very active and involved player base and wish to allow the fans of the series to take an active part in this project.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“MNB will roughly be in early access for 12 months. At this point, the game is projected to have all its core elements and units implemented.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The plan for the end state of MNB steam is to add additional content in order to create a satisfactory emergent combat experience set in WW2. This involve the following:

- Additional functionalities and units for classic and campaign mode
- Sophisticated AI attacks and tactics in classic mode
- Distinctive biomes for each sector in campaign mode
- More commander skills
- Additional enemy units and vehicles
- Additional ribbons for the classic and campaign including super rare ones
- Scenarios such as operation Market Garden
- Advanced vehicle combat and damage mechanics
- Community suggestions”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game is quite playable and in a good state with the following:

- Full Allied campaign (333 days of combat over procedurally generated Europe, about 120 hours of playtime)
- Functional and unlimited classic mode (more units to come)
- 50 battle conditions (mutators)
- 20 commanding abilities
- Fully functional enemy AI
- 42 ribbons
- 31 infantry weapons
- 3 tiers of enemy infantry with 19 specialties
- 10 vehicles”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will not change when the game leaves Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Mud and Blood has made its mark by being a product of its community. Since the start of this project, our discord and forums are going full blast with amazing suggestions and ideas in order to make Mud and Blood the combat chaos simulator that we all wanted for years.”
