Book of Travels has officially launched into early access

“Today the team at Might and Delight are thrilled to officially launch Book of Travels into Early Access,” the studio writes. “After making a deep impression on press and early Kickstarter backers this weekend, the world of Braided Shore is opening to all who wish to tread its tangled paths and wander its shady wilds. This rare moment – the start of a new world – is not to be missed, and all who venture in it will have founding tales to tell.”

The early access launch, considered the “chapter zero” release, is now open to all Kickstarter backers as well as on Steam for newcomers, with the NDA now dropped; it’s currently on sale for $26.99 for the launch.

The team posted a detailed roadmap through the early access to launch last week; we’re expecting achievements, new forms, costumes, pets, new skills, accessories, boats, child companions, minigames, gaming, cooking, dreams, music, and a large part of the world all fleshed out in the five release between now and the launch for chapter one, which is expected to be in about two years.

Do note that if you backed the game prior to the launch, you will need to claim your Steam key through Backerkit.

There’s also a “known issues” thread over on Steam that covers vehicles, lag spikes, and the case of the disappearing party members.
