TankHead Owners Get TankRat Free — And That's Exactly How You Reward Early Supporters + Dev Update

One of our biggest questions surrounding the future of TankHead was answered by the Alpha Channel team after TankRat was presented. Was it a new installment or what? That was a real question. Turns out its an upgrade to the... main event!

If you already own TankHead on the Epic Games Store, you will receive the upcoming TankRat update completely free when it launches. Here's a dose of gameplay from the earlier days of TankHead:

According to the development team:

"TankHead is evolving into TankRat. As a thank you to early supporters, all existing owners of the current version of TankHead on the Epic Games Store will receive the full TankRat update as a free upgrade when it launches."

That's a win. Plain, simple and fair. This says to early adopters that you won't be left behind.

In an era where gamers are often asked to buy a "Definitive Edition," "Enhanced Edition," or "Remastered Edition" of a game they already own, it's refreshing to see a developer reward players who believed in the project from the beginning.

 So What Is TankRat? 

Rather than being treated as a separate purchase, TankRat represents the next evolution of TankHead.

The project appears to be taking everything the developers have learned from the original game and pushing the concept much further. While TankHead introduced players to its unique blend of vehicle-based action and exploration, TankRat looks poised to expand the experience with significant improvements and new content.

From what has been shown so far, the shift isn't simply a name change. The game is evolving into something larger and more ambitious. That's exciting and your wallet can remained closed! In other words, if you buy TankHead to get a feel for the game ahead of the TankRat's release, the only difference is you'll have experience in the field ahead of what's to come.



 Rewarding Supporters 

Developers often talk about supporting their players. This is one of those moments where actions speak louder than marketing. Instead of splitting the audience between two products, the team is bringing current owners along for the ride... it's a great way to increase the player base too.

So developer, keep these things in mind. They don't go unnoticed. Speaking of devs, here's the most recent dev update to... TankRat, enjoy!



Top Audiences Last Week + Grab... Rogue Waters free for a limited time!

Before I get started today, I have to give a few tips. One is... always double check your snacks before you buy them, you could end up with something you won't enjoy. Two is... grab your preferred snack + the snack you want to try, just incase the new snack stinks. I don't know why I got "Dee's Nuts" to snack on (hey... that's the real name... ya nasty!). Well... I do know. They were supposed to be good, but I regret the purchase. I thought they were going to be covered in sweet southern BBQ flavor like the package said (let me grab a tissue)... but noooo, there was some powder in the bag with some plain peanuts. What's that?! They weren't coated or anything, and the seasoning wasn't hittin' at all. They came in a bag that made them look great... (man) they got me. Enough venting, this is about you, so lets get to those shout outs and free games... shall we?
