The winter holiday seasons are upon us here in North America and today most of our studio is celebrating Christmas. I’m not personally religious, so to me it is more of a cultural tradition but, in the spirit of giving, I thought this would be a good occasion to extend access to all early backers a little bit ahead of what we have previous announced. Everyone who contributed to development at any level should now find a Steam key on their Humble Store page. Please note that you need to claim a new steam key, not the longer Grim Dawn installation key that was already sent to everyone (the longer key you already have is for installation without Steam once the game is finished for those who choose to do that). If you had early access and are already playing the game, please disregard all this key information - it is only for new players.
If you don’t remember how to retrieve your key, enter whatever email you used to purchase the game into this key re-sender:
Also, again, sorry to anyone who has felt frustrated waiting to play the game. Our development delays have pushed back all our anticipated release / access dates and we’ve tried to do our best in balancing the pace of access between people who paid for different priced tiers / early levels of access while getting everyone playing within a reasonable time.
Also, B16 is in the final stages of testing and will probably be released in early January with a couple new quests and some big environment art updates.
Act 2 should follow later in January or February.
So, happy holidays, to those observing them and to everyone enjoy the game! We look forward to hearing your feedback.
On that note, I better get back to dinner with my family before I get in trouble!
Oh my god, what a great Christmas gift. I even threw my back out this morning running after my nephews and niece, now I can sit in front of my PC and forget the pain. Many thanks and happy holidays
i dont understand that sorry -i have steam key already(not the longer one)and i play the game what doesnt that mean–Please note that you need to claim a new steam key ???
@terec - if you have been playing GD through Steam, then just ignore these instructions.
These are only for those supporters, who only have a long no-early-access key from Crate and had not been able to claim their Steam key from the Humble Store up to now.
Merry Christmas Crate! I’m sure this will make many backers happy, as the Alpha really is a treat and you guys have more than earned your break over these upcoming holidays.
I never realized that I was able to play the beta, but I just did last night. Looks GREAT so far (about an hour in, a few quests down), and I’m loving the atmosphere and gameplay! I still have my TQ box on the desk, and I think this is a worthy homage.
Merry Christmas!
