Alpha Playtest is LIVE! 🎮



Greetings Wildkeepers,

The time has come!

We just opened the playtest so, if you requested access you should be getting it right now. We also have some more news...

Alpha Playtest

Lyle and I have been working hard on this alpha and we couldn't be more excited for you to play it. We really believe in Wildkeepers Rising - we can't even stop playing it ourselves!

Some reminders for all of you brave adventurers ready to jump in:
  • The build includes the first 2-3 hours of gameplay, all in the first environment. But you can progress all the way to the first boss!
  • This is an alpha build, so content will be missing, and bugs will appear now and then. We still have a lot of work to do on this game.
  • You can play with keyboard ⌨️ and mouse🖱️, but the game has full support for controllers 🎮
  • We will be resetting the saves before the game comes out, so you won't be able to keep your progress.

Another piece of good news is that the playtest runs at 60fps on a Steam Deck (and we're not done optimizing):


If you get to play the alpha, please give us feedback, either here on Steam, using this feedback form, or join our Discord and we can have a conversation. Your feedback is the key to make Wildkeepers Rising as good as it can be.

Coming Soon

And if you're wondering when this game is coming out. Well, we have an answer for you.

Wildkeepers Rising will be releasing in Early Access in Spring 2025.

That's reeeeaally close! Gulp! But hey, we also have a cool trailer for you to watch, so enjoy:
