We are excited to release some major new Early Access content with a full campaign level, lots of gameplay improvements, and our best challenge mode level yet. This update also includes additional tweaks and bug fixes listed below. If you don’t see the update, restart Steam and it should be visible.

1st Single-player Level

Full-size campaign single-player level: Outer Moons 3 (final name to be revealed later). This level is mostly complete in terms of gameplay, geometry, and texturing. It represents a fairly low difficulty and complexity level, as it is intended to be the 3rd (of 15) level in the game. Later levels are up to 2x larger (on average). Regardless, some use of the automap may be required. Note that story features (such as the full briefing, in-level voice/story, and ending) are deliberately withheld. New features seen in this level:

Cryo Chambers
Energy Centers
Lockdown Event

Challenge Mode Features/Content The single-player level isn't all. Challenge Mode gets some great new content as well.

New Challenge Mode Level: Hive
New Weapon: Nova missile
Local Leaderboards

Additional Improvements and Fixes Finally, we've improved other aspects of the game in response to community feedback (and our desire to make the game awesome):

Graphics brightness option
Vive recenter key (F5) fixed
Performance optimizations especially with large numbers of bots and projectiles
Robot balance changes to Titan, Guardian and Scorpion
HUD tweaks
Control configuration changes: remapping weapon select buttons, dedicated smash attack button, new advanced control options
Various minor fixes

We'll keep an eye on the forums for feedback, as well as updating the game quickly if we need to make any critical fixes. We're already working on the next major update, so look for more info on that coming soon.

Overload is a new six-degree-of-freedom shooter from the creators of Descent, currently under development. We're releasing in Early Access on March 13, 2017. The first Early Access release contains:

4 unique Challenge Mode levels
Infinite and Countdown variants that change the focus to Survival or Efficiency
Optional training level for refining your piloting skills
One sample single-player level (not part of the main campaign)
12 explosive weapons (7 primary weapons and 5 missile)
10 terrifying robot enemies

See below for the Full Game features, expected to release in late 2017.

EARLY ACCESS ROADMAP

Our focus with Early Access is to make Challenge Mode the best it can be through iteration, polish, and player feedback. We will also be revealing about a third of the single-player campaign with a focus on refinement of the elements present there as well as interface and level complexity/flow.

The first update, currently planned for late March/early April, will add the following to the game:

One full singleplayer level from the main campaign
One new Challenge Mode level, Hive
A new missile, Nova
Top 25 personal scores on leaderboards (in additional to Steam world-wide and friends)

We plan to do a significant update to the game every 3-4 weeks of similar size, with some smaller updates to address bugs and player feedback. Much of the story content will be held back for the full game release, but by the end of Early Access, Overload will feature:

10+ Challenge Mode levels
Multiple rule variants in Challenge Mode
XP-based unlocks and permanent upgrades for Challenge Mode
5 Single-player fully playable campaign levels
13-14 upgradeable weapons with fully functional upgrade screen in single-player
15+ robots of varying ferocity

The remaining content listed in the FULL GAME will be added at launch.

FULL GAME

When we exit Early Access and launch the full game, Overload will contain:

Single-player story campaign with 15+ FULL-SIZE atmospheric levels
12+ Challenge Mode levels with tons of replayability
Upgradeable player ship and 16 weapons with multiple upgrade options
20+ terrifying robot types and 3 massive bosses
Story by the writer of FREESPACE 2, plus pulse-pounding soundtrack
Epic soundtrack by Dan Wentz (DESCENT 2) and Allister Brimble (DESCENT 1 REDBOOK)

MULTIPLAYER EXPANSION AND LEVEL EDITOR

All purchases include the FREE expansion to add Multiplayer support 6-8 months after launch. A custom Level Editor will also be released sometime after launch. The Level Editor is currently expected to be available before the Multiplayer Expansion.
