Back in March, T19 Games had announced throwback shooter Dread Templar, with the aim to get the game to Early Access later this year. Well, that “later” is now August 14th on Steam. The full game is still being slated for release later this year on Steam and other digital platforms.
According to the devs, the Early Access version offers 40% of the full game as it is planned now, and will contain the first two chapters consisting of 10 levels (out of 25 that will be in the full version). Itchy trigger fingers will be able to use 10 weapons (out of total 12), blow away 17 enemies (out of total 25+), and make use of 70+ skill emblems (out of total 120+).
In case you missed it, the story for Dread Templar has you as the eponymous Dread Templar, who has entered Hell seeking revenge. Armed to the teeth with a variety of weapons as well as your Dread powers, you’ll be taking it to the denizens of Hell in this send-up to 90s first-person shooters.
T19 Games has also included an Early Access Launch trailer.
