We have some news for you!

Finally we can give you a date for the Early Access on Steam:
Gold Hunter will be released on Steam on Friday, May 13th, 2022 at 6pm UTC.
At the same time we will stream the Early Access on Twitch - so you can be there live.

As you know, the playtest is currently running on Steam, which allows you to test the game for free.

The planned end of the playtest was originally May 1st 9.59pm UTC.
However, due to the delays in reworking the multiplayer, we have decided to extend the playtest until May 6, 9.59pm UTC, so that you can still test it extensively.

We hope that with this announcement we can answer your open questions about the release.
