Independent Spanish developers Snowpeak Studio have announced today that their objective-based first-person brawler Blood Ancestors is now available on Steam Early Access. To celebrate the launch to Early Access, Snowpeak Studio have added some additional features for players to sink their blades into.
Blood Ancestors is set in a high fantasy medieval world, where teams of five battle it out to gain control of the Relic. The team-based competitive multiplayer recently released into open alpha and was met with positive praise from players. With the game now available on Early Access, players can expect to see a new map and training grounds, as well as a freshly revamped UI and menu.

In Blood Ancestors, teams of five fight on ruin-strewn castles and temples in melee centered combat to claim possession of the Relic. The newest map, St. Mary’s Cathedral harks from the Victorian era. Players will battle it out running through blood-soaked cobblestone streets and the gothic-inspired archways of the cathedral itself.
Before jumping into battle in St. Mary’s Cathedral or any other map, players can now hone their skills and perfect their playstyle in the newly added training grounds. Players can test out each of the 6 available classes and experiment with talent builds, drawing from the three talent trees of utility, offense, and defense.
Snowpeak Studio co-founder David Broto said the following:
“We’re thrilled to be launching on Early Access and to be bringing new and improved content to the players. We received so much great feedback during open alpha that helped us to continue to improve the game for players, we’re excited to see what they think of the new map and changes!”
Along with the training grounds and St. Mary’s Cathedral, players can expect to see a revamped UI and menu system designed to be more intuitive for players as they take on the enemy team to fight for the Relic.
