Grim Dawn v0.2.0.6 Patch Released, Steam Early Access Begins

Not only has Crate Entertainment released an ambitious new v0.2.0.6 update for Grim Dawn, but they've also brought the action RPG to Steam for those of you who want to get in on the Early Access action. Word is:
Grim Dawn is Now Available on Steam Early Access and is 10% off!*

Classic action role-playing from the lead gameplay designer of Titan Quest! Grim Dawn features satisfying combat, strategic character development, frenzied loot collection and quests with choice and consequence.

Grim Dawn is developed by a small indie team of experienced developers, led by the lead gameplay designer of Titan Quest, using an enhanced version of the Titan Quest engine and tools. Please note that this game is still in development.

Development Roadmap

You can currently play about the first 1/3 of Grim Dawn and up to character level 25, with some additional higher level secret areas to be found beyond the main story content. While content is still in development, the core gameplay is already fairly robust and a lot of fun. There is quite a lot of replay value between trying different classes / builds and collecting items. We're still refining gameplay based on player feedback, adding requested features and working to deliver the remaining content and additional slated features. Most players report that the current build is fairly stable with mostly mild bugs and we're always working to fix bugs as they come up. Here is some of the stuff we plan to role out in the coming months:

'¢ Act II content will be released in the next few months
'¢ More quests with choice and consequence in Act II
'¢ Continued optimization and bug fixing
'¢ Item crafting will roll out, probably before the end of the year
'¢ Additional difficulty modes and multiplayer should become available early to middle of 2014
'¢ More questing and NPC interaction involving factions
'¢ 5th player class, the Arcanist, should be ready early to middle of 2014
'¢ Additional big content releases in mid to late 2014

We expect the final game will provide about 20-40 hours for a first-time play-through on normal difficulty, depending on level of exploration / clearing. This is our first game as a studio and we intend for Grim Dawn to be a continuing franchise, not just a one-off game. So it is important that we put in the time and effort to create something we're proud of, that will help us to earn a loyal fanbase for the future. We hope you'll come be part of this experience and help us to forge a strong new addition to the ARPG genre.
