Samar Studio’s survival open-world crafting shooter, The Front, is now available in Early Access on PC via Steam and the Epic Game Store.
Check out The Front Early Access Launch Trailer:
In The Front, players assume the role of a resistance fighter sent back in time to stop the rise of a tyrannical empire. The game incorporates exploration, survival, resource collection, sandbox construction, tower defense, logical electrical and water systems, farming, vehicles, and other elements, creating an entirely new and immersive gameplay experience.
Official and Custom Servers
Official PvP and PvE servers are now live in Europe, North America, and Asia. Samar Studio will wipe data on official PvP servers every 45 days.
The Front supports single-player and multiplayer online modes. The game features an easy-to-use in-game and external parameter configuration tool, allowing players to set up custom servers on their own PCs. They may also rent servers from select providers. The Front’s custom servers give players the power to dictate their own server’s name, type, and individual parameters, allowing them to play alone or with friends.
Development Plans Involve Mod Support and New Gameplay Features
Samar Studio has a three-stage development plan for The Front’s first year, which includes new gameplay features, functions, structures, vehicles, gear, NPCs, and more. Additionally, The Front will receive Steam Workshop support, modding tool support, a new battlefield mode, new maps, and mobile bases in the future.
Steam Community Market & Content Creator Events
Upon Early Access release, The Front will debut item crates that players will receive by spending a certain amount of time in the game. After opening these crates from the game’s main menu, they will receive item skins that will appear in their Steam inventory and can be traded or sold on the Steam Community Market.
From October 11 to November 11, 2023, verified content creation collaborators on YouTube and TikTok can participate in an event to earn Steam gift cards after reaching specific benchmarks. After the event, the content creators who receive the most likes on The Front’s official Discord server will earn additional prizes. Discord members who react to posted content are also eligible to receive Steam gift cards.
