SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 22 ― It's already had a very well-received beta and Dreams will now enter a "limited release” early access period beginning in spring 2019.

The game about making games, Dreams, is inching closer to a full PlayStation 4 launch, but not before a limited release early access program gets underway sometime this spring.UK studio Media Molecule is one-upping its previous franchise, LittleBigPlanet, which likewise championed a mantra of play, create, share through comprehensive interactive game creation suite Dreams.

An invite-only beta ran from mid-December to February and, upon its conclusion, many of its successful applicants were able to share some of their creations and discoveries, as collected in an official montage (shown above.)

Media Molecule is extending the same application and invitation model to what may be a staggered release for Dreams, which appears to be adopting a limited numbers, Early Access model trialed by popular indie games site Itch.io.

"We scratched our chins and tried to figure out the best way to put the game in the hands of our most enthusiastic dreamers and allow us to continue crafting and polishing it for everyone,” studio director Siobhan Reddy explained in a PlayStation Blog post.

The Early Access version "won't have everything that the full version of Dreams will, but you'll get 100 per cent of the same Dreams tools that we have used every day at MM to make our content,” Reddy continued. "We'll use Early Access to help us prioritize all the awesome stuff we're already working on and get feedback as player needs develop and evolve.”

There'll be no non-disclosure agreement, meaning that players can stream, screenshot, and share their experiences inside the creative suite, helping to raise awareness, anticipation, and intention to purchase.

Dreams will enter Early Access at €29.99/ RM138.70 sometime between March and May, and is intended for the UK, USA, Australia, Austria, Benelux, New Zealand, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Spain. ― AFP-Relaxnews
