Fear The Wolves Early Access Release Pushed Back Following Closed Beta Feedback

The Closed Beta for Fear The Wolves launched a week ago and it came with a swathe of problems. Players were quick to report unstable servers, bad hit detection and AI, alongside performance that was all over the place. As a result, Vostok Games and Focus Home Interactive have decided to delay the game's Early Access launch by a few weeks.

"We’ve already seen tens of thousands of players battling in Fear the Wolves over the last week of the Closed beta. We are delighted that players are satisfied with the core combination of classic Battle Royale gameplay with original mechanics – particularly the players vs. environment, radiation hazards, dynamic weather, and unique end-of-game extraction system.

The positive community feedback encouraged us to delay the release of the Early Access to ensure the well-received core experience isn’t marred by technical issues. On top of fixing these issues, this delay will also allow us to further improve other aspects of the game, thanks to the masses of data and player feedback gathered through testing."

The closed beta duration has been extended up to Fear The Wolves' Early Access launch which will now happen later this summer. The full game is expected to arrive on PC and consoles in 2019.
