The early access phase of the battle royale shooter Fear the Wolves was supposed to start today, July 18th. However, the development team decided very last minute to postpone the testing phase. They need more time.
Small delay of the early access phase
Players suggested postponing the early access. The closed beta of the online shooter provided plenty of feedback from testers. After the developers carefully reviewed this feedback, they decided not to start the early access phase on July 18th. The testers also had specific ideas about the game and what the early access should look like and what it should offer. The team wants to meet these expectations.
Primarily, there are technical issues that hinder gameplay enjoyment. The team also wants to use the time to improve existing systems and implement feedback. The overall gaming experience should benefit from the delay.
Players are excited about unique game elements. According to the developers, the testers of the closed beta particularly praised the elements that stand out from other battle royale shooters. These include:
- Dynamic weather that affects gameplay
- The additional PvE elements where you fight against werewolves
- Radioactive contamination that requires careful approach
Closed beta will be extended
The closed beta remains open. Even though the early access phase of Fear the Wolves has now been postponed, testers can continue to play. The closed beta will remain active until the next testing phase can begin. So if you want to join in right away, register on the official website. With a bit of luck, you might still receive access to the beta.
When will the early access phase start now? The developers have not yet announced a new date. However, it is said that the testing phase has only been postponed by a few weeks and will definitely start this summer.
