Launch![/h3][p]Our online multiplayer pottery party brawler launches April 23, 2026! If you're excited to play, do us a huge favor and wishlist it now (it makes us feel super important when you do).[/p][p][/p][h3]Game Editions[/h3][p]Kiln's base game is priced at $19.99. We've also got a super duper fancy Fired Up edition for $29.99, and it's chock full of extras: it includes the base game, premium glazes, stickers, attachments, custom pots, and bonus chips. No, these aren't edible and they don't come with dip! Chips are the in-game currency for Kiln, and you'll spend it at Slip's shop to unlock new customization options for your pots. Chips can only be earned by playing Kiln, so if you want to start decorating your wildest pot dreams, the Fired Up edition offers a head start. Plus, Slip is a very good boy, and an even better entrepreneur. Support his small business![/p][p]![]()
[/p][h3]Xbox Wire Went Hands-On with Kiln[/h3][p]As you might have seen in our last announcement, we took Kiln to Day of the Devs on March 8. It marked the first time the public got to play the game, and it was a smashing success (pun intended). The folks over at Xbox Wire took some time playing the game and talking to Project Lead Derek Brand, and Xbox Wire Editor Will Fulton wrote an in-depth field report on Kiln that you should take the time to read.
