Hero's Song Is Now Available On Steam Early Access

Following were available in Alpha 3. The Steam store page states that up to 25 people can be on a server at a time. Over 8000 items can be looted, crafted, or stolen. A massive, procedurally generated world with several biomes awaits those who decide to in on Early Access.

Pixelmage Games CEO John Smedley had the following to say about the announcement.

We’re investing in Hero’s Song for the long term so it’s important to us that we’re transparent through the course of the game’s development. We are making a game that the community and our own developers want to play, and having players involved in the process from the beginning is an important step in bringing the best of this virtual world to life.

Writer Patrick Rothfuss, who helped create the world of Hero's Song, also weighed in with the following statement.

It's been such a delight to work with this team. They're such profs. Veterans who want to make something fun and familiar, but who know there’s no real point unless you’re bringing in genuine innovation too. And seriously, Hero's Song is different. I've never played a game that lets me create my own world, THEN go out and have an adventure in that place I've helped shape. Well... I have experience something like that once, but only if you count my books as a game.

Early Access is expected to last approximately six months. During Early Access, the game will cost $19.99. The price will, however, be increased at launch.

Hero's Song is available on Steam for $19.99.
