Last Tide: Frequently Asked Questions

Last Tide is a battle royale shooter sending 100 divers to the depths of the ocean! Avoid bloodthirsty sharks, locate equipment, and do whatever it takes to be the last diver swimming!

Release

When will Last Tide release?
Last Tide will enter Early Access for the public in August 2018.

Will Last Tide come to other platforms?
While we have nothing to announce for other platforms at this stage, Last Tide has been built to be more easily cross-platform ready than Depth was.

Will you continue updating after Early Access?
Yes! We will continue to support the game with updates, as we have with Depth.

Business Model

How much will Last Tide cost?
USD $14.99

Will you be selling loot boxes?
No.

Will gameplay content cost money?
All added gameplay content will be included in free updates for all players.

Will Last Tide be Pay To Win?
No. We've never done this in our games, and never will.

Can I record gameplay, publish and monetize videos/streams of Last Tide?
Yes.

Features

Can I play as a shark in Last Tide?
No. Last Tide focuses on delivering tense Diver vs Diver gameplay, which we think is a great reason to play both Last Tide and Depth!

What new features will be added to Last Tide?
If the community want it and it fits the game, we'll be worLast on it.

Controller support?
Not on initial Early Access launch.

Will you add more game modes?
We will be experimenting with these later on.

What about eSports?
We will be designing the game with competitive balance in mind, however our focus is on making a great game first. If the community builds a competitive scene we will do our best to support it.

Early Access

Why Early Access?
Early Access will provide us with invaluable community feedback to shape how we continue building Last Tide. WorLast closely with our community, we plan to build the features and systems they want to see the most, while providing transparent communication on how the development is going. With our studio's experience building Depth and managing over 20 major content updates for it, we're experienced at developing games with an active playerbase. With Last Tide still in development, we plan to release smaller patches much more frequently while in Early Access to deliver content and bug fixes as fast as possible. We can't imagine a better way to develop and improve Last Tide now that the core gameplay is complete.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
Last Tide is planned to be in Early Access for around 12 months with a version 1.0 launch around July 2019.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
Over Early Access we will continue adding diver gear, bringing in new gameplay features, and continue implementing out of game systems like events, cosmetics, and social features. During Early Access we will be releasing smaller patches frequently, however once we release out of Early Access we will be transitioning to a slower update cycle focused on building themed updates which bring new events and gameplay features.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?
The Early Access version of Last Tide is a stable build complete with matchmaLast and a fully functioning game loop. Last Tide already features a variety of weapons, attachments, and gear which we will continue to polish and tune based on community feedback. Last Tide also features out of game systems like lobbies to play with friends.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
Pricing for Last Tide 1.0 will be announced closer to release.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
Community discussion and suggestions will be used to shape the priorities and content we build for Last Tide. We believe that no one knows a game better than the players, so we will be listening to community feedback to help us build content. Building a voting system is also high on our priority list to give players another way to make their voices heard. We are really looLast forward to worLast alongside our Early Access supporters on building Last Tide together.
