/

Secret 6, a studio based in the Philippines, announced that Project Xandata has been delayed. The Steam Early Access version of the free-to-play multiplayer FPS will now launch on March 22, 2022. It was originally set to launch on January 26.

The studio announced the delay through social media and mentioned that more work is needed in certain areas in the game. Optimization issues that was discovered during the game’s open beta last year still needs to be addressed and that game’s spectator mode and other quality of life features needs additional polish. The studio also experienced some challenges from the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines.

For those that missed on on the announcement of what will be available in the Early Access version of the game, here’s what to expect.

  • Arcade Mode: Free-For-All

  • Item Store

  • Early Access Prestige Pass

  • Solo leaderboards

  • Item Reward Track

  • Localization

  • Customization onboarding

  • FOV slider

  • Additional game analytics

  • Easy anti-cheat

  • AMD fidelityX

  • A cinematic intro

  • Improved overcharge effect

  • Weapon preview visual effect

 

A fifth new map called Wellspring Biotech is planned for the game’s Early Access but has yet to be confirmed if it will be available at launch.  Secret 6 also mentioned that Project Xandata will have a fifth game mode called Annihilation but it will be unavailable during the Early Access launch but could be available in the future.

The Early Access version of the game will have a Prestige Pass available that will come with 50 tiers and will last for 12 weeks. Just like similar Battle Passes in other games, unlocking all 50 levels will result in you earning enough of the game’s in-game currency to purchase the next Battle Pass planned for Project Xandata.
