Server Details, Road Map, And Steam Drop Event!

Greetings players!


We are proud to announce that The Front will go live into Early Access on the Steam and Epic stores on October 11 at 15:00 UTC with a launch week 20% off discount price of $15.99 (normal price: $19.99).

 

As we are a small development team, you may occasionally encounter technical issues while playing the game. That said, we are committed to making optimizations and improvements based on your feedback and your suggestions. We firmly believe that each update will bring The Front closer to the amazing game experience that we have long envisioned, and the one that you want to see.

 

Server Details

Servers will go live on October 11 at 15:00 (UTC). In addition to official servers, The Front will also allow you to set up your own custom servers. Here are the details:

 

Official Servers
Regions: Europe, North America, and Asia
Types: PVE, PVP
Rules: On PVP servers, server wipes will be carried out every 45 days


Custom Servers
We will provide easy-to-use in-game and external parameter configuration tools that will allow you to set up your own servers.

 

Solo/Hosted servers

You will be able to use your PC to set up a server featuring customizable content such as the server name, description, and various in-game parameters rules. To play with your friends, simply set a password for the server and invite them to join.

 

Dedicated servers

 You will be able to rent a server and deploy it yourself, or contact a provider and rent a dedicated server that can be deployed with a single click. These servers will be able to host more players.

 

Long-term Event: Steam Drops!

Steam crate drops will be available at launch. Players who play the game on Steam will receive crates after playing a certain amount of time.


Crate Description: Crates can be opened from the main menu to receive item skins. These item skins will appear in your Steam inventory.
Steam Community Market: Players will be able to sell the item skins they receive on the Steam Community Market.


* Note: Skins will be tradeable and marketable on the Steam Community Market at launch, but will not immediately be usable in-game. Skin use will be implemented in-game within one month after launch.
