'Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade' Coming to Steam Early Access

Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is a 3rd person persistent MMOTPS of the 41st Millenium.

In the game, players choose a Warhammer 40,000 race and fight directly as one of their warriors in massive conflicts for territory. It will be up to each faction’s community to determine their own destiny as they vie for control of an entire planet.

Eternal Crusade's combat is fully action-based, meaning that you hit exactly where you shoot or swing and it's up to your skill whether you pull off a headshot or block that incoming chainsword. In addition, gamepads will be fully supported.

Both ranged and melee weapons have equal emphasis – as in the iconic battles of Warhammer 40,000, combat begins at a distance with guns and heavy vehicle-mounted weaponry before progressing to bloody blade-on-blade action with brutal executions.

We are now preparing to fully move over to the Early Access program on Steam, where you can easily get into our Closed Alpha with all the payment options they offer and the ease of use of the Steam platform. We'll be communicating more about our Early Access launch in the coming weeks.

The Founders program will officially stop sales on the 25th of January, and our go-to-market and retail pricing will start. We will strive to offer similar early adopter and influencer programs for our other platforms (Mac, Consoles etc) as we want other platforms to have that opportunity as well.

So, if you haven't bought a Founders pack yet, and you want to join the group of Crusaders that made all of this possible and be part development process, now is the time. No worries, all current and future packages lets you into the Closed Alpha, Closed Beta, and is of course a full retail package for the final game.
