After a slight delay, Stardew Valley rival Mirthwood is finally out

While the excitement around GTA 6 continues to ramp up coming into 2025, my eyes are firmly placed on the new Fable. As someone who grew up swooning over Reaver in Fable 2, then swooning again in Fable 3 (that outfit is iconic), it's one of my favorite videogame franchises ever, and I've got high hopes for what comes next. In the meantime, however, I've been searching for a high fantasy adventure that channels that classic Dungeons and Dragons feel, but isn't 100 hours long (I'm looking at you, Baldur's Gate 3). Mirthwood certainly fits the bill, and after a slight delay it's finally out now on Steam.

We’re planning future updates, including new content, events, optimizations, modding support, extended language support, and more.

We’ll spend time over the next few weeks working on any issues that arise during the launch and then share what the next big thing coming to the world of Mirthwood will be!

Development Update

Hello Folks!

We’re excited to share some important updates with you regarding the progress of Mirthwood.

As many of you know, we initially postponed our launch from September 11, 2024, to November 6, 2024. This decision was made to ensure that the game is as optimized and polished as possible before it reaches your PCs.

Today, we're pleased to confirm that we are on track for the November 6 release. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mirthwood will be available for purchase and download on the scheduled date.

Our focus for the launch is to integrate several key elements from our previously released roadmap into the day-one version of the game. We're working tirelessly to include everything we’ve planned right from the start. Additionally, game optimization remains a top priority, with the goal of ensuring Mirthwood runs smoothly on the Steam Deck! We’re also working hard to provide localization in multiple languages, and we’ll share more updates as we get closer to the official release.

On the weekend of September 21, we hosted a closed beta event, announced via our Discord. Nearly 700 players participated, and their feedback has been invaluable to Mirthwood’s development. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took part—your input has been instrumental.

If you haven’t already, we warmly invite you to join our growing Discord community. Since September, the Mirthwood Discord has grown significantly, and it’s the best place to stay informed about our development progress. It’s also the only way to sign up for our next closed beta, which is planned for mid-to-late October.

The support we’ve received from this community has been nothing short of remarkable and truly humbling. We firmly believe that our decision to delay was the right one, and we can’t wait for Mirthwood to charm and captivate you when it launches. Thank you again for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Warm regards,

Daron & Brian

A Brief Delay

Hi Folks!

Today, we have some news that we will be delaying the launch of Mirthwood until November 6th, 2024.

We want Mirthwood to be the best it can be on day one. As a small, passionate team, we've worked tirelessly to create a world that you will love, but we felt there were still key areas, like performance optimization, localization, and some of the systems, that needed more work and attention before launch.

We know that this is disappointing for many of you, but we want to make sure the game is completely ready before we release it and don’t want to release it unfinished. So, in the meantime, we are going to be holding some Beta weekends where you’ll get to jump in and try out what we’re working on.

If you haven't already, join the Discord, which just opened up as a way to get access to the upcoming beta weekends.

Secondly, we're releasing an updated roadmap to keep you up to speed on Mirthwood's development. A few original planned post-launch features will now be in the full launch.

Our small team never expected to have quite so many of you along for the ride with us. It's amazing, yet we recognize that expectations are both high and varied! Rest assured, we are working tirelessly to meet them—today, tomorrow, and into the future.

See you on November 6th,

Daron & Brian
