The time has come!
[p][/p][p]We’re excited to officially announce that Soulmask is entering the final stage of Early Access![/p][p][/p]On March 6 at 13:00 UTC, we’ll officially premiere the dated launch trailer for Soulmask 1.0 and the Soulmask: Shifting Sands DLC!
[p][/p][p]Yes—this is an ending, and also a new beginning. Looking back to the very first tests, every Chieftain who supported us helped bring Soulmask to where it is today.[/p][p][/p][p]Without your encouragement, passion, and feedback, we might not have made it this far.[/p][p][/p][p]And most importantly—please trust us: in Soulmask 1.0, you’ll be stepping into a very different world. Below are answers to the questions you care about most:[/p][p][/p]FAQ For 1.0
[p]Q: Why announce the end of Early Access now?[/p][p]Thanks to the continuous, massive feedback from players worldwide, after more than a year of Early Access polish and 1,000+ updates, we believe Soulmask’s core systems, gameplay depth, and world scale are now fully ready. It’s time to present the game in its complete form—so we’re moving forward with the 1.0 release, bringing a richer, more complete “mask world” to even more players.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Can I use my old save in 1.0?[/p][p]Yes! Single-player local saves and private server saves will remain usable. However, due to major changes to system structure and gameplay mechanics, we recommend starting fresh to experience the full scope of 1.0 and enjoy a truly new journey.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: What will happen to the current official servers?[/p][p]To ensure fairness and stability in 1.0, all official servers will be wiped when the 1.0 update goes live, and new official servers will be created.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Why is a wipe necessary?[/p][p]In Soulmask 1.0, we’ve rebuilt a large number of systems, including resource distribution, AI logic, and the economy. Without a wipe, old data would cause serious compatibility issues and imbalance.[/p][p]The goal is to ensure that both new and returning players can begin under the same rules and set out on a brand-new expedition. We know this is tough for some long-time official server Chieftains—but a restart may turn out to be the more exciting experience.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Can I still access the old Early Access version of the game?[/p][p]No. The 1.0 full version will completely replace the old Early Access build.[/p][p]We understand some veteran Chieftains may feel attached to earlier versions, but compared to an unstable Early Access build, Soulmask 1.0 brings major improvements to stability, performance, and gameplay depth.[/p][p]Also—1.0 single-player will include multiple game modes to choose from. You’ll be able to customize your preferred mode, difficulty, and other parameters.[/p][p][/p][p]Q: Will there be more updates after 1.0?[/p][p]Absolutely! Whether it’s 1.0 or the upcoming Soulmask: Shifting Sands DLC, this is only the beginning of Soulmask’s next chapter.[/p][p]We’ll continue delivering more civilization-themed expansions, ongoing optimization, balance adjustments, and community events. We’ll keep listening—and the world of Soulmask will continue to grow.[/p][p]And we’re not done yet. More details on Soulmask: Shifting Sands and 1.0 will be coming your way in a steady stream.[/p][p]Buckle up—and get ready to charge into the evolved world of Soulmask![/p]
