Quick answer

The answer first

The official Steam release date is August 17, 2026, for Early Access on Windows PC. When this page was verified on August 17, Steam still showed “Coming Soon” and an approximate unlock countdown, so this page does not yet claim the game is playable.

Release status explained

Steam lists August 17, 2026 as the release date and labels the product as Coming Soon to Early Access. The storefront also displayed an approximate unlock countdown during the August 17 verification. Store status—not the calendar date alone—is the safest way to decide whether downloads and purchases are live.

02

What the Early Access build is planned to include

  • A fully playable open world with a completable main quest
  • 50+ quests and 60+ unique enemies
  • More than 100 equippable items
  • Spell crafting and alchemy systems
  • Single-player and full co-op support
  • An estimated 30–40+ hours for a completionist run without guides
03

What Early Access means here

NerveLabs says players should expect rough edges and unfinished areas. The team plans to use feedback to refine systems, performance, balance, and the world, with updates targeted every one to two weeks during Early Access. The developer says the full version is planned to add enemies, areas, equipment, quests, and further polish.

04

How this page will be updated

  • Change “Coming Soon” only after the Steam purchase state confirms unlock.
  • Record major date or availability changes from first-party sources.
  • Keep Early Access and full-release dates separate.
  • Do not publish a precise console date without an official console announcement.
