Exit Ways

Exit Ways is a PvEvP survival extraction shooter that entered Steam Early Access on September 7, 2026, built by a small three-person team (ASKES) after roughly 2.5 years of development. The developer has been candid about the game's rocky launch: on September 14, 2026, they reported 64% refunds, mostly negative reviews, and 12 patches shipped in the first 7 days. Despite that, they noted the review score had already climbed from 8% to 22% positive — a sign of active response to player feedback. That same September 14 post set a concrete near-term goal: adding new quests and NPC content by October 21, 2026, alongside continued bug fixing. The developer also acknowledged the challenges of building a multiplayer game with dedicated servers as a small team, but did not signal any intent to stop development. Pre-launch, the team shipped a steady stream of feature updates through early 2026: a January 2026 update adding a new Bunker map, reworked UI, and new enemy models; a February 2026 update improving tutorials and adding a chest rarity system; and a May 2026 update adding 23 new quests, 4 new zombie types, and localization into 10 languages. Post-launch patching has been rapid, with multiple bug fix and feature patches already released. The game is still in Early Access and under active development, with both outstanding content targets and a developer clearly engaged in improving the experience.
