The Orks are almost here. Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is moving forward in development to a phase where — as Nathan Richardsson, Senior Producer and self-proclaimed Destroyer of Worlds, Dreams and Unicorns, put it — “core ‘massively online’ systems that have been in development for many months are starting to see the light of day.” The Eldar race is in, and the Orks will be following within weeks. Other systems and features are emerging, including variations of weapons, more maps, character advancement trees, Wargear, and more.
Want to be on board as all this happens? Richardsson invites players to be a part of the development process during the Steam early access by, you know, buying the game. However, he also emphasizes that those wanting a polished game should wait until it launches.
“This is Alpha in Early Access,” he stresses. “Sure, you’ll be buying the full game and our expansions (or DLCs if you will) are all free but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t got drawbacks in our masochistic attempt to do transparent game development.”
