The developers' warnings about fake “early access” games

Between January and July 2025 the developers warned repeatedly that experiences selling access under the game's name are not theirs. The game is free on release.

Warning · 30 July 2025

The warnings

  • 4 January 2025: “On release Holy War X is free. If we haven't given you a link, assume it is a fake.”
  • 9 April 2025: “The Holy war x early access game … IS NOT US”, after people joined the Discord asking where the game was, having bought a pass in another group's experience.
  • 15 July 2025: “IF YOU SEE A GAME ON ROBLOX, which is called something stupid like hoLy_WaR_X…. owned by Alpheeyrex…. Bro it’s not us, don’t let them scam you”.
  • 30 July 2025: “The game does not release today”, after a fake told people it was launching that day.

On 28 March 2025 the developer also repeated that nobody has to buy anything to play.

The look-alike today

“Holy War X [SOON!⏳]” is published by Holy_War_X, not by the Holy War X community that Alphirex owns. It had 520,941 visits when last read. How to tell the pages apart is on the Roblox page guide.

The game is free

“The game is free on release for all to play.” Premium Tester, the paid tier that funded development, went off sale on 5 April 2025.
