LEAP 1.0 Launch is here!
Welcome Mercenaries,
We’re thrilled to have you all be a part of this day, so many of you have seen the development of LEAP throughout early access and now we’re happy to bring LEAP into full launch!
Let’s get started with the new and shiny stuff first.
LEAP is now on Consoles!
There's a big splash in the console market today, as LEAP has arrived for both Xbox and PlayStation. The console community will be introduced to an immense market of content on day one with all the latest game modes, maps, PV’s, weapons and mods. Not only that, but we have a lot more content on its way in the coming weeks and we can't wait to share with you all. Grab your copy of LEAP on either Xbox or Playstation consoles.
Crossplay
You will be able to play with your friends no matter if they're playing the game on PC or on consoles. LEAP mercenaries have the option to crossplay to stay connected with both communities. The more the merrier right?
For those who wish to play only against their own platform, you can disable crossplay from the main menu.
LEAP Design Works
From day 1, LEAP is launching with User Generated Content (UGC) and all throughout the coming weeks more mods will be rolling out! To commemorate the launch, we've enlisted the assistance of our dear friends at Overwolf, who will be working with their modders to bring some incredibly cool mods to the game. As LEAP expands, we fully support the community's efforts to create mods that alter the way we play FPS games. LEAP's world is your oyster; dive in and create the FPS of your dreams.
Here’s a sneak peek of a few of the mods debuting today:
Hell of the Mercenaries - by Sky_Systems
Snipers Vs Runners - by TH_Mrow
Only Dragons - Eru᛫Ellimist᛫Entreri™
Do you want to make your own mod? You're in luck; the sky's the limit when it comes to creating a mod for LEAP; anything you can imagine can be created in LEAP's mod editor. We've put together some Mod Support documentation to help you out, and if you have any specific questions, feel free to LEAP into our Discord, where our devs and knowledgeable community members are waiting to lend a hand.
Player Progression System
Players can now earn rewards faster and easier thanks to the updated progression system! We’ve put an emphasis on extra class rewards to provide players with cool items to enhance your battle experience and to try out the various classes.
Bi-Weekly Black Market Themed Updates
As a hired Mercenary, you’ll acquire quite a bit of cash for your work-to-kill job. It’s a demanding time taking out your enemies, so why not splurge a little and treat yourself on some new and shiny items from the Black Market? Items will cycle on a bi-weekly rotation, giving you more time to earn your way to the latest and greatest items.
New Recruit Bonus
This week’s Black Market feature will be riding in style with a focus on the cowboy skin for Pathfinders and their trusted steed the Boost Moose PV Skin. There are some other delicious goodies you may want to pick up for your journey to the wild west, so be sure to snag them like the Cheese-themed keychain or Dab taunt that will certainly annoy an enemy after you make your kill.
Twitch Drops
Calling all content creators - we’ve set up a new Twitch Drops campaign! If you are streaming any LEAP content, be sure to let your viewers know they’re in for some awesome in-game swag. Check the graphic below on what you can earn and be sure to link your LEAP account with your Twitch account.
Be sure to check out your favourite streamers in LEAP during the month of March, as we have a Twitch drop campaign with loads of items to snag!

Time to LEAP into 1.0 Launch!
Hello Mercenaries,
We’ve made it! LEAP is officially leaving Early Access on March 1st, 2023. It’s been an amazing journey throughout EA, we couldn’t have done it without our fantastic community members. Thank you.
Get ready to LEAP into battle with LEAP’s 1.0 coming March 1st!
What’s next?
Do not think that just because we are leaving Early Access that's the end of it. We're just getting started! As part of the launch, we will unveil our detailed road map and brand new features. In the past year, we have made significant progress but we are just getting started.
Crossplay, Consoles and Mods
From the moment LEAP launches, you will be able to play with your friends no matter if they're playing the game on their PC or they're on their console. That’s not all, we’re pleased to announce that LEAP 1.0 launch will come with mod servers on day 1 and will continue to launch even more mods throughout the month and beyond. Now is the time to let your creative side out, try your hand at modding and create your own FPS experience or check out some of our creators' mods! More details on mod support coming soon.
Founders Edition
There is still time to claim these bonuses if you haven't jumped into Early Access by purchasing the Founder’s Edition. This is your chance to obtain the PC-exclusive Jojo Skin as well as loads of in-game loot and perks. Once we leave Early Access, the Founder’s Edition bundle will be removed from the Steam store. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1771270/LEAP_Founders_Edition/
Thank You
On behalf of our team at Blue Isle Studios, we couldn’t be more proud of the game we have created. Thank you for being a part of this journey and we look forward to seeing you all at 1.0! If you’d like to dive in early, please join our community.
