Early Access

Exilus Viper is our first game, and therefore it will take plenty of additional work and updates before we will consider it ready for full release.

Obviously we will greatly benefit by receiving feedback from our players, as we do our best to balance and refine the base game.

Please head to our Community Hub here on Steam - and share your thoughts on Exilus Viper, and we will do our best to continue improving the game, and incorporate your feedback!
                                                                                                                                                        

Beyond Early Access

Preliminary work has already begun on a sequel to EV, and we also have plans to expand our universe into other genres, but these things take a serious back seat during EV’s early access period.
