Mini Settlers News

Hello everyone,

We're thrilled to announce that Mini Settlers 1.0 is set to launch in Q2 2025!

While our team is hard at work reading feedback, adding new content and preparing for the big release, this means there won’t be any public updates any time soon. However, we’re excited to share that an experimental branch for the 1.0 build will be announced soon hopefully next month. All info will be shared here and on our Discord Server.




Also as a part of the Steam Real-Time Strategy Fest, we're running a special sale—Mini Settlers is now 20% off for a limited time! Don’t miss this chance to join the adventure at a discount, as the game will increase its price before 1.0.
