Delverium Launches in Steam Early Access on September 22

Delverium will launch in Steam Early Access on September 22, bringing its mix of farming, settlement building, survival crafting, and dungeon exploration to PC.

Developer Sagestone Games confirmed the date following its latest public playtest. The game can be played solo or with up to eight players online, with progression built around developing a settlement while exploring a procedurally generated world.

Players can grow crops, breed animals, fish, gather resources, and construct buildings while expanding their settlement.

Exploration takes them beyond the farm into different biomes, caves, and dungeons containing enemies, bosses, resources, and equipment. Materials gathered along the way can be turned into tools, weapons, armor, food, and building supplies.

The world is also affected by mysterious areas known as Faults. Players can investigate them while uncovering pieces of the game's story and continuing to improve their settlement.

Online co-op supports up to eight players, while local split-screen supports four. Groups are free to divide their time between building, farming, gathering resources, and exploring rather than following one required activity together.

Delverium had previously been targeting an earlier 2026 Early Access release, but Sagestone pushed the game into Q3 while it continued adding content and balancing its core systems.

A public playtest followed in July with a focus on performance, stability, and feedback on the latest content. The build added fishing, cosmetic armor slots, new bosses, and other new content, while Sagestone used the test to gather feedback ahead of Early Access.

Sagestone announced the September 22 date after that test concluded, saying the game was in a solid position for Early Access. The studio also said player feedback had helped it decide which changes and balancing work to prioritize before launch.

Sagestone expects Delverium to remain in Early Access for up to two years, although the final schedule will depend on development and player feedback.

The studio plans to add more biomes, bosses, loot, NPC options, lore, and gameplay features before the 1.0 release. Community feedback will continue to shape balancing and content throughout that period.

A free demo is currently available on Steam ahead of the Early Access launch.
