Early Access
The game will go into Early Access on PC on March 3rd, 2026! As we will not do an Early Access on consoles, we can only offer it to those selecting PC as their platform, meaning Steam (Windows) or Epic Store (Windows). If you do select PC, then you will receive your game key in the form of an Early Access key on March 3rd, 2026. You can then either already start playing the game in Early Access or wait until the full-released. Please keep in mind that a decent PC is required to run The Legend of Khiimori, see the FAQ “PC Minimum Specs” below. During the Early Access period, we want to focus on improving the game and acting on player feedback wherever possible, dedicating our efforts to making the experience even better.

Alpha Playtest
We started the Backer-exclusive Alpha Playtest in Spring 2025 and contrary to the Early Access every backer has access to it, no matter what platform you choose for your game! The Alpha Playtest takes place on PC only, via Steam (Windows). Contrary to the Early Access, that will gradually transform into the final game, the Alpha Playtest is a standalone build. This is why we can make it available to all our backers. The Alpha Playtest takes place on PC only, please note that a device with mid to high specifications will be required, see the FAQ “PC Minimum Specs” below.

Why no physical game for Xbox or PC on Kickstarter?
As modern PCs and the Xbox Series S do not feature a disc drive anymore, there will be no physical version on Xbox or PC. Yes, we could have gone for a “code in a box” solution, but this would have interfered with our plans for Early Access on PC.
| That said, all physical reward tiers will come with a SteelBook® as a true collector’s item! But only if you choose PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch 2, you will get a physical copy of the game for PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch 2. If you choose Steam, Epic Games Store or Xbox S | X you will get the game as a digital download code. |

How long is the game?
We are aiming for about 35 hours of guided story content in the final game, but additional loops and systems such as horse care and breeding can keep players busy beyond that.

System-driven vs. Story-driven
Please note that the Early Access version of The Legend of Khiimori will be a system-driven rather than a story-driven experience (for now). The story will be ready in time for the full-release of the game.
Story-driven: games carefully guide players through a predefined narrative.
System-driven: games that hand over that authorship to the player. Instead of being told what the story is, players create their own through interacting systems: movement, survival, traversal, consequences, and choice. Every decision, mistake, and unexpected outcome becomes part of a personal journey that exists only because you played the game the way you did.

Is the game fun for different types of players, from core to casual?
Yes! A large variety of game settings is planned, so that the title can be enjoyed by different types of players, from “Open World Survival Fans” to “Cozy Gamers”. As developers, we are big fans of offering multiple options to our audience, so that the experience can be adjusted to your likings.

Will the game be historically accurate?
We aim to be authentic and respectful in our portrayal of the Mongolian culture, history and landscape. We are working with relevant advisors from cultural institutions, Mongolian citizens as well as Mongolian musicians. There will however be instances and individual choices where gameplay, creative freedom or our audience’s “wants and needs” may lead to compromises.

How much will the final game cost?
This is not confirmed yet, but backing through Kickstarter will always give you a better deal for the complete game than waiting on the full-release. Plus, it will be the only way to receive some of the Kickstarter-exclusive rewards!

Shipping Costs
The physical editions will be shipped globally. There are many factors that can impact the shipping costs, like the destination and the final size and weight. As shipping costs can change frequently, we are unable to communicate confirmed shipping costs. Rest assured, that we aim for secure shipping for a fair and reasonable price!

Name & Personal Message in Credits
Your name will be included in the credits of the game and you can add a personal 100-character message (subject to review for appropriateness). We will send out a survey in which each backer can select/define the name they would like to be mentioned with in the credits, in case you do not want to use your Kickstarter username.

Stretch Goals and possible DLC
The Stretch Goals that we have reached will be incorporated into the game step by step. They will be fully ready latest in time for the full-release of the game.
Having certain non-reached Stretch Goals as a DLC later on is theoretically possible but really depends on the success of our Early Access!

Last Updated At: 01/20/26What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
