KAGE Dev Q&A — Answers

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all your questions - we’ve collected some of the most common ones and answered them below.

❓ Q: Will there be a roadmap besides devlogs?

❗ A: A roadmap will be shared after release with update plans. Until then, we’ll continue posting devlogs.

❓ Q: When is the release? What about playtests?

❗ A: A playtest is planned for summer, we’ll open applications, so don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to join. There will also be a public playtest and a demo. The demo is planned for autumn. The full release is expected in late 2026 or early 2027.

❓ Q: How much will the game cost?

❗ A: We’re aiming for around $15.

❓ Q: Are abilities tied to characters or can any character use any ability?

❗ A: All weapons, abilities and equipment can be used by any character. Each character has one unique technique exclusive to them. You can build your own playstyle by combining character abilities and gear.

❓ Q: Are you still accepting ideas for characters and abilities?

❗ A: We’re always open to suggestions.

❓ Q: How many people are working on the game?

❗ A: Currently, the team consists of 6 people.

❓ Q: Can abilities be used without voice input (using keybinds only)?

❗ A: Yes! While abilities are designed around voice activation, you’ll also be able to use them via keybinds if you prefer.

❓ Q: How are you handling potential copyright issues?

❗ A: Don’t worry - we will adjust designs to make everything safe. We’ll also provide a feature that allows players to upload their own models. We never intended to rely on existing characters. We’re all fans of shonen and want to create a game that lets players feel like heroes from their favorite series.

❓ Q: Can I help with translations?

❗ A: Yes! Closer to release, we plan to involve passionate fans in community-driven translations, allowing players to help bring KAGE to different languages.
