Daedalic Entertainment have announced that Blackguards, their forthcoming turn-based RPG, will be invading the world via Steam Early Access.

It’s a fairly novel model. Daedalic apparently want the community to be able to influence development, so for Early Access they’re opting to go for a sort of episodic schedule, releasing each of the game’s five chapters in three week intervals. The first will be available on 7 November (next Thursday, calendar fans), which means that the fifth will probably be available sometime around… 30 January 2014, I guess? I’m not sure. Counting’s hard.

They’re also opting for various purchase tiers. The Blackguards Standard Early Access Edition will cost £18.99 and includes each chapter as available, and the full version on launch. The Deluxe Edition will cost £26.99 and gives you everything from the Standard Edition as well as a 150-page digital art book, developer interview videos, and six wallpapers. Finally, the Contributor Edition costs £29.99 and includes everything from the other two versions as well as the first Blackguards DLC, a copy of The Dark Eye-based point-and-click adventure Chains of Satinav, and you’ll get your name in the credits. For £3 more, that’s not half bad.

Tim has been playing PC games for longer than he's willing to admit. He's written for a number of publications, but has been with PC Invasion - in all its various incarnations - for over a decade. When not writing about games, Tim can occasionally be found speedrunning terrible ones, making people angry in Dota 2, or playing something obscure and random. He's also weirdly proud of his status as (probably) the Isle of Man's only professional games journalist.
