If you’ve ever dreamt of stepping into the shoes of a lone samurai amidst the chaos of war-torn Japan during the Sengoku era, then look no further than Dokkodo. This distinctive RPG on Roblox draws clear inspiration from beloved titles like Sekiro, known for its gripping combat. Eager to dive in before the official launch? Follow our guide on how to get early access to Dokkodo.
1. Ways to Get Early Access to Dokkodo
As of now, there are multiple opportunities to gain early access to Dokkodo: public playtests, early access donations, giveaways, events, and by obtaining the Samurai role from Shogun Kirse, the game’s creator. It’s worth noting that early access grants permanent entry, unlike wave access, which only permits gameplay for a limited time. Let’s explore each option in detail.
2. Public Playtests

The developers have been working hard on this game, and they’ve planned a public playtest on Friday, August 22nd, 2025, at 4:00 PM (UTC). While the duration of this playtest remains unspecified, we anticipate it could extend through the weekend. If you miss this round, don’t worry—more public playtests may be scheduled in the future.
3. Early Access Donations

You can secure early access to Dokkodo by making a donation. The game offers a special Early Access t-shirt that you can buy for 499 Robux. Wearing this item not only showcases your support but also grants you permanent access to the game.
4. Giveaways and Events

Join the Dokkodo Discord server, where the developers frequently host events and giveaways for free early access. To avoid missing out, enable notifications in the #giveaways and #announcements channels. Be aware that participation may require some form of engagement, like inviting friends to the Discord server.
5. Getting the Samurai Role from Shogun Kirse
If you manage to catch the attention of Shogun Kirse, the owner of Dokkodo, there’s a chance you might receive the early access role on Discord for free. However, this is rare. To improve your chances, engage with the community and consider creating content related to the game. This could lead to earning the coveted @Samurai role.
