The Road to Release

[p]Hey there![/p][p][/p][p]It's been a while since our last update, and we have a lot to share--from an upcoming demo, Steam Next Fest, and a potential release, to next steps and physical fulfillment for our Kickstarter backers from many full moons ago! 
[/p][p][/p][h2]Steam Next Fest[/h2][p]It's that time of year again, and now we're gearing up to share Kingdom of Night with the world in the upcoming Steam Next Fest. In preparation, we have new promo art and have polished up some early gameplay to share in a demo that will launch very soon![/p][p]The demo covers the prologue events of the game all the way up to the first major boss enemy, so there's a lot to go through from beginning to end! Please note: the demo may be long, but save files will not carry over into the full version of the game. We strongly recommend playing for as long or as little as you like with that in mind![/p][p][/p][h2]So the Game’s Actually Coming Out?[/h2][p]Heck yeah it is! We're finally approaching a tentative release window for Kingdom of Night. While the exact date isn't yet set in stone just yet, we can hint that at a Q4 2025 release date for PC.[/p][p][/p][h2]Are you a Kickstarter backer looking for more info?[/h2][p]Then be sure to check out our most recent Kickstarter update for more information on the fulfilment side of things, and if you have any questions, you can reach out to us there or via our Discord server!
