After over 3 years of development, survival exploration game Nira is finally set to release in Steam Early Access tomorrow. A new launch trailer reveals a set of new features, including a questing system, merchants, and 4 player drop-in drop-out coop. The game now also features a leveling and skills system.
Nira is a very simple looking game that quickly gets out of control if the trailer is any indication. It’s not often when a trailer starts off so simply yet manages to ramp things up to eleven. One second you’re farming some corn and the next you’re mowing down giant monsters with an AK. Nice.
On the Steam page, solo developer Baseline Games explains they chose to release in Early Access to be able to involve the community in the development process. “Nira has come a long way to get to Early Access, but there’s still a ton of room for improvement and expansion. I’ve chosen Early Access so I can get feedback and new ideas as I develop, and to define the direction for the future of Nira together with the players.”
Nira releases tomorrow, April 24th.
