Fear the Wolves’ Early Access release has been delayed

Vostok Games has officially confirmed that Fear the Wolves’ Early Access release has been delayed by “a few weeks”, postponing the release from July 18th to an unknown time “later this summer”. 

Those who are already playing the game through the title’s closed beta will be glad to know that they will retain access to the post-apocalyptic battle royale until its official release, gaining access to a “large update” tomorrow which is presumably what was intended to be the game’s initial early access version. 

Fear the Wolves is a post-apocalyptic Battle Royale game that is inspired by the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, dropping players into a radiation-ravaged Chernobyl map 25x25km map. 

The final game will offer a 100-player multiplayer online mode where players will have to combat environmental hardware like radiation and the game’s titular wolves. At the end of a match, players will travel to a randomised location on the map to be extracted via helicopter.     

A secondary mode is also set to arrive at a later date alongside additional maps and other enemy types like mutants and other environmental hazards. 

Vostok Games has stated that positive community feedback from the game’s closed beta encouraged the development team to delay the title’s Early Access release, hoping to ensure that the game “isn’t marred by technical issues” at launch.
