Steam Early Access Release Date

Hi everyone! Today we are revealing the date that Rivals of Aether will arrive on Steam Early Access:

Windows users will be able to purchase the game on Steam on September 22, 2015. By purchasing it early, players will get access to the title as we update it and make balance changes. You can check out the Steam Page for Rivals of Aether and add the title to your wishlist.

Early Access will initially feature 6 characters, 5 stages, 1-4 Player Versus Mode with CPUs, Practice Mode, 1v1 Netplay through Matchmaking or Steam Invites, Xbox Controller Support, Keyboard Support, and Custom Controls.

Some of the game features will be released after Early Access is complete in early 2016 including Story Mode, Abyss Mode, and the two hidden characters.

We will also be bringing the preview version of Rivals of Aether to Xbox Game Preview Program later in 2015, but we do not currently have a date for that release.

If you want to share in your excitement for the release later this month, then come join us at our forum thread on Smashboards.
