01

The Early Access release is live

Steam currently labels the game Released, shows August 17, 2026, and provides an active purchase panel. The earlier Coming Soon state has been retired from this guide.

02

What Steam says is playable

  • A fully playable open world and completable main quest.
  • 50+ quests, 60+ unique enemies, and more than 100 equippable items.
  • Spell crafting, alchemy, fishing, single-player, and full co-op.
  • An official estimate of 30–40+ hours for completionist play without guides.
03

Why the patch date matters

NerveLabs shipped multiple hotfixes and Update 6 during the opening days. Quest directions, Spongestone placement, co-op state, inventory behavior, spell crafting, alchemy, and performance have already changed.

04

What remains a future plan

NerveLabs plans less than a year in Early Access and aims for frequent updates, but that is not a guaranteed 1.0 date. Future content and mod support remain plans until released.
