Kingmakers Early Access Delayed Days Before Launch With No New Date

The developer says it needs more time to polish content without cutting planned features and has promised a gameplay deep dive to show what has been built.

Overview

  • Redemption Road Games postponed the October 8 Early Access release to an unannounced date for the PC game published by tinyBuild on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
  • The studio says the goal is to preserve scope and avoid feature cuts, emphasizing that it will only charge money once it feels the experience is ready.
  • A gameplay deep dive is promised very soon to showcase current progress, with outlets reporting conflicting lengths ranging from three minutes to about thirty minutes.
  • Community reaction includes skepticism over the last‑minute timing and comparisons to past troubled launches, though there have been no preorders or crowdfunding.
  • The team highlights ambitious tech goals such as tens of thousands of AI soldiers, fully enterable and destructible six‑story castles, massive maps, drop‑in/drop‑out multiplayer, and a target of true 60fps on midrange PCs.
