It's Time to Rise from the Ashes

Phoenix Point is just a day away from launch (that’s Tuesday, December 3rd at 11am PT / 7pm GMT for those detail-oriented types among you). We’re all really excited for you to start playing the game we have been working on passionately for the past three years.

Here are a few things you need to know:

  • Emails containing your Phoenix Point keys for the Epic store were sent on Friday, November 29th from our contact@snapshotgames.com email, and will be sent again, today, Monday, December 2nd, to those who didn’t open their Friday emails. If you can’t find the email with your key, please double check your spam, junk and promotion folders before contacting us. 95% of our emails regarding missing keys are found in these folders; checking there first saves you (and us) time.

  • The Epic Store keys we send you are package keys. That means they unlock all of your entitlements including any DLCs or digital items included in your tier with a single key. If you’re one of the people who qualify for a free season pass, your key will unlock that too. No need for multiple key redemptions.

  • If you purchased more than one copy of Phoenix Point, each key should be labelled by edition in the email you received.

  • If you have purchased the season pass separately, you will need to redeem the game key first, then the season pass key you received when you purchased that.

  • Sometimes, you may have to close and restart the Epic Games Store launcher for newly purchased items to appear in your library.

  • There are no preloads on the Epic Games Store, so everything you redeem will show as “unavailable” until 11 AM Pacific Time on December 3, 2019.

  • The full game is independent of the Backer Build. It will not overwrite the Backer Build in your Epic Games account and does not require any files from it. You can safely uninstall the Backer Build at any time without affecting your full game installation. Eventually, we will remove all Backer Builds from user libraries.

  • Purchases made directly via the Epic Games Store are added to your account automatically and do not require a key.

Phoenix Point Release Trailer

Last Friday, we uploaded our official Release Trailer. Take a look:

Phoenix Point Let’s Play

To get ready for our release, we’ve started our own video playthrough series. You can find the first two episodes below. These cover the optional Tactical and Strategic tutorials, and both are light on spoilers.

Writing Competition Winner

Finally, a big congratulations to our writing contest winner, Ian Wilkes.

You can read his winning entry, “Closing Bell” here

Ian picks himself up a Signed Collector’s Edition of Phoenix Point, and his story will be one of those included in the official lore of Phoenix Point and “The Compendium”, alongside the runners-up who we featured in previous weeks.

What’s Next?

Post-release, we have a roadmap we’ll be following to add new content, tweak existing content based on player and press feedback, fix bugs, and work on our DLCs. Our first DLC, planned for the early new year, is Blood and Titanium which adds cybernetic implants to the game.

We really hope that you have a fantastic time playing Phoenix Point. The entire team here at Snapshot is excited to hear your feedback on the full version. You can leave that feedback for us on our forums.

As always, a huge thank you to all of our backers, customers, and supporters who made it possible to bring Phoenix Point to fruition. We made this game for you.

Good hunting!
