Today we have a big announcement to make! After spending the last couple of months polishing and improving the game, we can officially announce that The Tenants is launching in full on Thursday, October 20th, at 6 pm CET! So, just a little over two weeks from now!
Having been preparing for this moment for quite some time now, all of us at Ancient Forge are eager to leave Early Access and let the real adventure begin. We have big plans for the future of The Tenants, and the 1.0 release is only a step, albeit a big one, on that path. There are a lot of exciting additions to look forward to in the upcoming release, including:
As it's always been the case with major updates, you can expect the final changelog to contain a few more surprises! To celebrate the upcoming launch, the studio founders have shared the following words of excitement:
Needless to say, the whole team is beyond thrilled to have finally made it here! There's still more to come, and we will be releasing more information regarding our post-launch development roadmap, future expansions, and platform ports in the coming weeks. Lastly, we would like to thank you for your continuous support since last year's Early Access release; we couldn't have done it without you all! Join us on The Tenants Discord community server, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook to stay up-to-date.
Thank you,

At this time, right before the full release of The Tenants, we can't help but feel grateful for the support we've received from our awesome community over the course of Early Access. They've helped us hone and polish the gameplay direction and it definitely wouldn't be the game it is now if we hadn't decided to go the EA route. One thing worth noting is that by no means is this the end of The Tenants development, we have big plans for the game's future and we will share some of them soon enoughDushan Chaciej - Co-Founder and Creative Director at Ancient Forge Studio
The Early Access journey for The Tenants has been an incredible experience. When launching the game back in March of 2021, we couldn't have foreseen the level of attention and interest the game would garner among players from all over the world. Despite following our roadmap featuring 4 major updates, we ended up implementing a lot of features and quality of life changes that have been suggested by our amazing community. We're beyond excited to finally have everyone try the full release of the game.Maksymilian Strzelecki - Co-Founder and Technical Director at Ancient Forge Studio
