Ragtag Heroes launches in Early Access on February 11th.

Here’s exactly what’s included at launch — and where we’re taking the game during Early Access.

No vague promises. No artificial timelines. Just clear direction.

What’s Included at Early Access Launch

At launch, Ragtag Heroes features:

  • 5 playable heroes (Squire, Scoundrel, Acolyte, Occultist, Brute)

  • 3 Acts forming the core campaign progression

  • 4 rotating Worlds that grow more corrupted and dangerous

  • 500+ synergy-driven cards

  • 100+ relics

  • Ascension-style difficulty scaling

  • 3-player online co-op

  • Public matchmaking

This is the full core gameplay loop — fully playable in co-op from day one.

Design Philosophy

Ragtag Heroes is built around mastery and coordination.

  • Deep run-to-run strategy

  • Meaningful hero synergies

  • Cooperative decision-making

There are no permanent power boosts at launch. Progression comes from understanding builds, adapting to corruption, and improving as a team.

We are evaluating long-term progression systems carefully to ensure they strengthen — not dilute — the cooperative design.

Planned Additions During Early Access

During EA, we are expanding with:

  • Additional Heroes (playtesters will be familiar with some)

  • Additional Worlds!

  • Final Act & Final Boss, completing the campaign arc

  • Structured Challenge Modes (Daily-style runs & curated modifiers)

Several of these are already in active development.

All additions will be designed and balanced specifically for co-op.

Early Access Pricing

Ragtag Heroes enters Early Access at a low price of €14.99.

This base price will increase when the game leaves Early Access and reaches 1.0.

To celebrate launch, there will be a 15% discount on top for a limited time!

  • So if you've been waiting for the game, launch week is the best entry point.

The Goal for 1.0

By full release, Ragtag Heroes will feature:

  • A complete hero roster

  • A full campaign arc

  • Expanded world variety

  • A polished, stable multiplayer experience

  • Tight balance across all heroes

Early Access is where we refine, expand, and improve - together with you.

See you on February 11th. ⚔️
