Andromeda Six Newsletter | April 2025

Hi everyone!

Welcome to April! The time is absolutely flying this year, but we're here with some good news!

We'd like to announce that Episode 9 of Andromeda Six will be released in May 2025. We'll announce the date and time in a little while, and we have a set date that the team are working towards, but will keep that private for a little bit longer, just in case there are any changes.

Until the release, the beta will continue to be updated here on Patreon, with the next update coming this week.

We've also got a little sneak peek at what's coming up in Episode 9!

Captain Reznor, anyone?

As we get closer to the Episode 9 release we also wanted to do a little F.A.Q to answer some of the questions people have been asking:

How much will Andromeda Six cost when Episode 9 is released?
A6 will be priced at $14.99 (USD) at the time of the Episode 9 release. This is an early access price, which means if you pay for the game while it's at this lower price, you will not have to pay again when we raise the price upon full release.

Why are you making A6 paid?
The scale of A6 has grown enormously since we first started, and it's no longer financially possible for us to continue working on the game with it remaining free to play.

Episode 10 and the following Epilogue will be the toughest for us to make, and we already have a list of additional features to add like multiple endings, illustrated end cards, and additional sprites/outfits, which we know will be a lot of work.

By putting a price on the game, it will help us to commission extra work and put everything we can into making Episode 10, and the following Epilogue, the best ending for the game that we've been envisioning, so that A6 can really go out with a bang.

Will A6 be available on Steam?
Episode 9 will be available to play on itch.io first, but we will make it available in early access on Steam as soon as we are able to.

When will A6 be finished?
At this stage, we don't know, but we will continue to keep you up to date as work progresses, and we know that with some extra hands on board we'll be able to pick up the pace of development.

After the Ep 9 release, we'll start getting some feedback from players on whether you'd like to see Episode 10 and the Epilogue released at the same time, or if you'd prefer access to Episode 10 earlier, and the Epilogue a little after that.

Once all ten episodes + the Epilogue are released we'll be doing a revamp of the game, which means a new UI, character creator, new music, more art, more scenes, more choices, and once this final version of the game is released, we'll be raising the price to it's full-release pricing.

What's happening with the After Dark DLC?
After Dark has been (lovingly) pushed to the side while we focus on finishing the main game, and we will pick up production on it again as soon as Episode 10 and the Epilogue have been released.

Thank you everyone! If you have any further questions feel free to leave them in the comment section below, and we'll see you soon with more news! 🚀
