Hey there LEAPers and Mercenaries!
It’s been a couple of weeks since our last post, the team over here at Blue Isle Studios has been working non-stop since the beta. As mentioned we’re digesting all the feedback to adjust our roadmap accordingly. If you missed our last update there’s a link to it at the bottom of this update.
As for some frequently asked questions we wanted to give some players an update!
Price? Is the game going to be F2P, is there going to be a cosmetic shop we need to pay RL money for?
LEAP will not be free to play; there will be a fixed price which is still to be determined. Regarding cosmetics and in-game items to purchase - while the game is in Early Access (EA), all shop items are purchased using in-game currency. Some of you may have already seen some shop items during the beta. Anyone interested in a sprinkle donut skin for your PV?
When is the next beta/playtest?
We do not have any specific date yet for our next beta, once we do we’ll be sure to let all of you know when that happens. For playtests, these typically run 1-2 hours to test out new features and to give feedback like ‘was it fun?’, ‘what did you like/not like about this feature?’, etc. These playtests are typically announced a couple of days before the playtest date, which gives players plenty of time if they are able to make the scheduled time.
If anyone is interested in keeping an eye on these playtests we suggest you join our Discord so you’ll be the first to know when these playtests will take place: https://discord.gg/GQcYV7dfGZ
What kinds of game modes will LEAP have?
Players were able to play two modes during the beta: Control and Stomping Grounds. There are more modes that will be released as LEAP goes into Early Access, one of them teased over social media being: Asset Assassination. We have a few more modes that have not been shared, tune in for more information on those soon!
Will there be full controller support?
Yes absolutely there will be! There is already controller support in LEAP, although it is still being worked on at this time, but don’t you worry it’ll be ready for EA.
Is LEAP coming to Playstation/Xbox?
Yes and Yes! Playstation’s announcement video has already gone out and can be found here
Xbox will have an announcement trailer coming soon.
Competitive Mode?
As of right now LEAP does not have a competitive mode in the core game. But that’s not to say we won’t support it. We’ve provided LEAP full mod support so if the community wants to come together and create a competitive mode we fully support that. From our beta feedback we can see that there are A LOT of fantastic players already, we’ve created smaller player counts to accommodate for 10 vs 10 matches to make things a little bit more competitive. Nothing is off the table, if enough of you want something keep asking, just know your requests are being heard.
Does LEAP have Mod Support?
Uh HECK YEAH! That was one of the first things we ensured was possible when developing the game. The skies the limits, please mod to your heart's content!
When is LEAP going to be released?
The most frequently asked question. We’ll be LEAPing into Early Access sometime this year, no date has been made at this time. So stay tuned!
That’s about all for now folks. We’ll be releasing a new gameplay video shortly, please look forward to that coming real soon. Until next time, can’t wait to see y’all on the battlefield!
