For the Community Challenge:

Here are also the winners of our community challenge from our discord server!

Note: These are the player's Discord names

EN Players:

We’re incredibly happy with the reception to our Early Access build. This moment feels very special for our team, and we want to express our gratitude to everyone who has played, supported, and completed the EA version so far.

We also want to be transparent with the community: the final 2 bosses are still using full-game stats. We know this makes them much harder than intended for the Early Access phase, and we plan to nerf them to better accommodate most players during EA.

Even so, some of you still managed to push through and defeat them. Because of that, we’ve decided to turn this into a special community challenge.

Due to high demand and to give more players a chance to participate, we are officially extending the challenge until March 31, before the nerf is applied.

Challenge Rules

Players who defeat the final 2 bosses before the nerf will receive a Statue of Honor and be permanently recognized in our in-game Champions Hall.

Requirements

• Play on FALLEN TEAR mode

• Join our Discord Community Challenge channel

• Take a picture of your computer showing the early access end screen message and post it in the Discord community-challenge channel.

After Submission

Once your screenshot has been posted, our team will contact you directly through DM with the next instructions.

Thank you all so much for the amazing support. We truly appreciate this community, and we can’t wait to honor the players who earn their place in the Champions Hall.

(Note that the full game stats will return during the full game version)

Hey Wanderers!

Fallen Tear: The Ascension launches into Early Access on March 17, marking the beginning of our journey toward the full release, and our brand new demo will be a part of Steam Next Fest, next week, starting February 23rd. 

We’re launching with ten huge areas, our full act-one narrative, tons of bosses and side content and our full combat and skill system. There’s a ton of content to enjoy at launch with much, much more to come. Our full roadmap is shared below if you’d like to learn more!

Our first Early Access update will include polish, balanced and bug fixes based on your feedback, alongside the Japanese localizations, with more languages to follow.

After that, we’ll be heading towards our 1.0 release! This will include the rest of the game and the complete story. We’re already very busy working on this and cannot wait to show you what we’ve got in store.

 · Additional 10 major regions with interconnected areas

We’re confident in our plans and expect to be out of Early Access with a strong game. We believe that being able to act on your feedback as we finish the final parts of the game will make for a much better overall experience. As such, we may change the update schedule based on that feedback, but we’ll always be clear and communicate throughout development what our plans are.

Our early access launch marks the beginning of our journey, and we would love for you to join us on March 17th and be part of it.

What languages will Fallen Tear launch with?

We'll launch the game in English and Simplified Chinese on day 1, then Japanese, which we'll add during Early Access. As for the full game, we're still working on Korean, Portuguese, Polish German, Russian, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Italian, and French.

Carrying saves from the Early Access

Demo saves won’t carry across into Early Access, but future saves during Early Access will. We recommend uninstalling the demo after you've installed the Early Access or Full Game, and never looking back.

Our future SAVE plans

We plan to develop the game so you won't have to restart it at any point and can still pick up your save with each update.

How to contact us

The best place to hang out for support and help with the game will be our Discord, but we'll also be keeping an eye on the Steam forums and Kickstarter if you need help.

Let the Adventure and Hunt Begin!
