[h3]Hey everyone,[/h3]
We have a big surprise for you all!

[b]We have decided to go into Early Access in early March of this year![/b]
This means you will have access to all classes earlier than previously announced.
We have been asked many times if we can launch earlier, and this way we can 🥳
From the start of Early Access, BOTH the Berserker and the Pyromancer will be fully playable. Each of them comes with a full set of [b]5 subclasses[/b] and already a total of [b]25 to 30 class-specific items[/b].
The goal of the EA phase will be to polish and balance the new classes. We are aiming for a pretty short duration of a few months until the full release. And of course, we’ll be adding more items and general quality-of-life features during EA - and who knows what else!
[h3]The Berserker[/h3]
The Berserker is rough, tough, and angry. Her core mechanic is [b]Battle Rage[/b], which gives her increased attack speed and damage resistance when in danger. Many Berserker-specific items interact with Battle Rage and do something special when it activates!
The Berserker starts with a [b]Forging Hammer[/b], which she can use to upgrade items.
[h3]The Pyromancer[/h3]
Some people love to see the world burn. Literally. Pyromancers find arson awesome!
The Pyromancer can both buy and generate 1-gold [b]Flames[/b], that generate Heat on their own. Flames can be used to set items on fire or infuse them with Heat.
Some of her signature items can use Heat as a resource for massive effects, such as [b]reincarnation[/b]!
So, here are some questions we think you might have and our answers:
[i]Will you still update the demo in parallel?[/i]
The demo will stay up, but it will no longer get content updates. Instead, the Early Access version will be updated. This way, the Early Access-exclusive content does not lead to unfairness for the demo players.
[i]Will demo players be matched against EA players?[/i]
No, the player pools will be separated.
[i]Will my progress from the demo transfer?[/i]
Ranking will probably reset towards Early Access and possibly during Early Access as well.
We will, however, do our best to transfer all unlocks (trophies, skins, etc)
