SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global game development and publishing company Smilegate today announced that their survival RPG adventure IfSunSets will officially launch globally in Early Access on November 5, 2024 for PC via Steam for $19.99 USD. A 10% Early Access discount ($17.99 USD) will be available until November 18.

"Our small team of eight is dedicated to building a polished game that provides something truly new within the survival genre." said Byunghun Cho, CEO of POLYMORPH. "In September, we conducted a Playtest for IfSunSets and gathered valuable user feedback. Based on these insights, we will be incorporating various improvements and new content into the Early Access version. Key features and updates to be added in Early Access include the World Selection Mode, skill system improvements, night defense improvements, bug fixes and more."

The survival RPG adventure boasts immersive day-and-night cycles, each offering distinct gameplay experiences. During the day, players must make the most of every moment as they explore the abundant island to hunt, farm, fish, gather resources, craft materials, build fortifications, and level up through intense action-packed combat against ancient bosses and cursed monsters. As night falls, gameplay transforms from RPG adventure to survival horror, unleashing swarms of spine-chilling monsters that relentlessly stalk the player in an undead invasion. Surviving until the morning becomes the sole objective once the sun sets, with every decision made during the day being essential to achieving this goal.

"We've ensured there's a satisfying amount of content available at launch and plan to expand it further throughout Early Access," continued Cho. "We'll continue optimizing and improving the game while prioritizing community feedback. Our aim is to expand both the depth and breadth of the experience to make IfSunSets truly shine."

Early Access for IfSunSets, specifically, will feature five different game modes: "Standard MODE," in which zombies appear; "Safe Night MODE," a world without zombies; "Custom MODE," which allows players to tweak the world to their liking; and two additional modes—Easy and Hard—with zombies present. Additionally, Key Features of the core IfSunSets experience include:

The team at POLYMORPH plans to add even more new features and gameplay elements following the official Early Access launch, including Controller Support, a new area called the "Coastal Region," a new dungeon named the "Coastal Dungeon" and more.
