Evaluation

STRIDE launched out of Early Access on June 10, 2022 and received a series of post-launch content updates: a Guns & Drones single-player update in June 2022, a Run & Gun multiplayer expansion in October 2022, and a cosmetic/progression overhaul in December 2022, followed by a new Tag Champions multiplayer mode in June 2023. Throughout this period, Joy Way had also been working on a story campaign originally planned as a free update, which was later reworked into a full standalone sequel. That sequel — STRIDE: Fates — was announced as a separate game in October 2023 and released on May 16, 2024. The release of STRIDE: Fates fulfills the last outstanding commitment Joy Way had communicated to players of the original STRIDE — the story/campaign content that had been promised since Early Access. The developer explicitly confirmed that Fates is a separate product, not a DLC or update to the base game. There are no unreleased DLC entries for STRIDE, no roadmap promising further updates to the base game, and no developer communications since May 2024 indicating additional content is planned. The last developer post for the base STRIDE game was the Fates launch announcement on May 16, 2024, which effectively closed the loop on all prior commitments to base-game players. With all announced content delivered and no new content signaled since May 16, 2024, the base STRIDE game appears to be a complete product at this point.
Evidence
STRIDE: Fates launched as a separate standalone game, fulfilling the long-promised story campaign. Early Access buyers were offered a free key. This was the last developer communication for the base STRIDE game.

About this game

STRIDE is a high-octane parkour adventure in virtual reality. Fight for your life as you hurtle through the canopy of a futuristic metropolis. Step into the shoes of a master freerunner as you vault, swing, roll, and shoot your way through this intense, action-packed adventure. Will you survive the ultimate freerun?

HORDE MODE

Avoid being touched by zombie players, or infect as many survivors as possible.

KING OF THE HILL

Grab a crown and wear it longer than other players to win. The crown goes to the player who tagged you.

DEATHMATCH

The classic "all against all", up to 10 players in a match. The player's objective is to do more kills than their opponent(s) for that game.

TEAM DEATHMATCH

All players are split into 2 teams, up to 5x5 players. Cover your teammates and hold key locations on the map with useful pick-ups to seize the advantage.

CAPTURE THE FLAG

Steal the enemy’s flag and deliver it to your base as quickly as possible. Try to follow the most optimal path and avoid confrontation.

Endless Mode

Infinite level generation provides unlimited challenging terrain. Build your score by landing jumps over impossibly wide gaps, nailing insane wall-runs, sliding under barriers, and swinging between buildings. There’s no turning back or time to stop - as the world quickly falls apart behind you. Oh, and did we mention the rooftops are crawling with snipers? Pull out your 9mm mid-air and pick them off as you glide across the gap between buildings.

Time Run Mode

Compete for the top spot on the leaderboard. In Time Run mode, it’s all about speed. As the terrain unveils itself ahead of you, you’ll need to visualize your route on the fly, and execute each move with precision.

Arena Mode

In Arena mode, you’re presented with a spacious section of the city’s rooftops, without the pressure of a creeping barrier coming up behind you. You have complete freedom of movement within this complex high-rise “arena” but you’ll be challenged with a variety of tasks. Examples include finding and collecting certain items , completing a specified route within a time limit, stealing an item without getting spotted by the snipers, or - simply - killing all the enemies! Arena mode feels even more like a real city, so enjoy the views… but try not to die.
