MOBA/RTS Hybrid Dropzone To Launch On Steam Early Access Mid-February

It's been almost a year since Gameforge and Sparkypants, a startup founded by ex-Big Huge Games developers, announced their MOBA/RTS hybrid Dropzone. In that time, the game has gone through several phases of Closed Beta and seen further development. Today, the companies announced that, "in response to player feedback," the most recent Closed Beta will be ending today and the game will launch on Steam Early Access sometime in the next few weeks; the current estimate is that it will launch "mid-February." It is also noted that the team intends for it to "debut as one of the most polished, content-rich Early Access games to ever hit Steam."

The Early Access version of Dropzone will cost $19.99. Closed Beta users "will be receiving a range of bonuses [...] including Pilots, Rigs, Gear, one Daredevil Recon Pilot Skin and an Exclusive Early Access Player Emblem & Vision Tower." Closed Beta users will also be given access to the Early Access version of the game for free.
