1.0 Coming April 10th!
Hi, Inklings!
Inkbound is officially moving out of Early Access! This means that players will get to enjoy the full game along with some major changes the team has made to the design, balance, and content of Inkbound.
Continue reading for details of Inkbound’s 1.0 launch date and a list of what’s to come!
[h3]INKBOUND 1.0 DATE REVEAL! [/h3]
Since first launching Inkbound in Early Access back in 2023, we’ve been focused on creating tons of new content, polishing gameplay, and incorporating player feedback for the 1.0 launch. Thanks to all your suggestions and bug reports, we’ve been able to include your most asked for features and find solutions to even the most challenging issues!
From new vestiges, combat balance, new tutorials, cutscenes, and new cosmetic sets. We’re also adding controller support and improving the game on Steam Deck. Inkbound will also be available in multiple languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and more!
For the lore lovers out there, you’ll also get to experience the last chapter to the Inkbound story we’ve been building throughout Early Access. Players will learn the secrets of the Atheneum and battle the true final boss!
And speaking of the launch…
The release date is…
*drumroll*
Inkbound 1.0 is coming out on APRIL 10TH, 2024!
That’s right, the wait is almost over! And trust me, it’s worth it. Until then, we’ll be busy testing, re-testing, and testing again to make sure everything is as perfect as can be.
[h3]LAST EARLY ACCESS SALE & LAUNCH PRICE[/h3]
Before Inkbound 1.0’s launch, we’ll be having another sale! Starting on February 28th and running until March 6th, Inkbound will be available for 20% off!
This will also be the last Inkbound sale before we increase the price of Inkbound to the full release price. On March 6th, the new price will be $29.99 with standard regional pricing in other currencies.
Why March 6th if the game does not come out until April 10th? That is a great question! The reason is that Valve does not allow developers to change their prices at the same time that they run a sale. So, in order to offer an additional 1.0 launch sale, we’ll be raising the price slightly earlier.
[h3]THE ROAD FROM EARLY ACCESS[/h3]
Throughout Early Access, Inkbound has changed a lot since its release last year, including:
Whole new Aspects like the Star Captain, Godkeeper, and Chainbreaker
And there is a lot to come! Such as…
And that is the tip of the iceberg! Stay tuned for content reveals coming soon!
Finally, thank you so much for your help during our Early Access journey. Join us on Discord,, subscribe to the Inkbound newsletter, or join one of our weekly streams to discuss any questions you might have with the team.
See you in the Atheneum!
