Hello, Survivors around the world.
The Midnight Walkers has finally launched in Early Access.
After approximately 659 working days of development, The Midnight Walkers has at last reached the starting line.
Today, as the Director, I would like to share the vision that guided the development of The Midnight Walkers, along with my thoughts as we begin Early Access.
Oneway Ticket Studio started this project with a clear goal: to create a game that makes players want to survive to the very end, inspired by the tension and meaningful choices inherent to the extraction genre.
The development journey was never easy.
Along the way, we faced countless decisions and gradually gained clarity on which experiences truly mattered.
After overcoming many challenges, we believe The Midnight Walkers now stands at its true beginning.
And now, we would like to validate and expand this direction together with you, the players.
Early Access for The Midnight Walkers is not about rapidly expanding content alone.
Our primary focus is to carefully refine the core gameplay loop and the density of the overall experience.
We have built a variety of gameplay data analysis systems to better understand the overall player experience.
By monitoring real-time data based on player choices and actions, we will continuously refine combat and economic balance, responding quickly when adjustments are needed.
In addition, due to the nature of the extraction genre, we believe that a stable matchmaking environment directly translates into the quality of the gameplay experience.
Rather than aggressively expanding and fragmenting the player pool from the outset,
Development will not stop after Early Access. In fact, it will continue at an even faster and more intense pace.
Starting immediately after launch, we plan to introduce a variety of changes and additions through updates to ensure that gameplay remains engaging,
Approximately three months later, we are preparing a major update that will expand The Midnight Walkers into its next phase.
Above all, the most important value we have held since the early stages of development is delivering a unique experience that only The Midnight Walkers can provide.
We are also working quickly to complete key elements that have not yet been fully revealed, with the goal of making The Midnight Walkers a memorable zombie extraction game.
Moving forward, we will continue to communicate transparently with you, just as we have done so far.
To that end, we have created a development roadmap through Q2 2026 in a format that is easy for anyone to review.
We will also openly share not only our progress, but the challenges and considerations we face along the way.
Development Roadmap: https://tmw-roadmap.notion.site/
We believe that Early Access is not a point of completion, but rather the starting point for building a better game together.
We sincerely thank everyone who has been waiting for The Midnight Walkers,
and we hope you will continue this journey with us.
Thank you.
Sincerely
- Director Ray
