Stormforge Release Date: Early Access on November 10, 2026
Stormforge launches in Early Access on Steam on November 10, 2026. Roboto Games confirmed the date in the official announcement 'Stormforge - Early Access Release Date!' on September 17, 2026, and the Steam store now shows 'Planned Release Date: Nov 10, 2026'. A free demo has been playable since August 18, 2026.
Confirmed Early Access Release Date
Roboto Games announced the release date on September 17, 2026: 'Early Access will launch here on Steam on November 10th 2026!' The Steam store page is flagged coming_soon with that exact planned date, and the announcement thanks players who joined the closed playtests and played the demo, adding that a full list of launch content and an Early Access roadmap would follow 'in the coming weeks'.
The store's own Early Access FAQ sets expectations: Roboto Games currently expects to stay in Early Access for approximately 1 year, 'shorter or longer depending on community feedback', and expects a modest price increase for the 1.0 launch.
Platforms
The Steam appdetails API lists Windows only — windows: true, mac: false, linux: false. No PlayStation, Xbox or Switch version has been announced by Roboto Games, so the November 10, 2026 date applies to the PC version on Steam.
Controller support is already in place: the store page lists full controller support including DualShock and DualSense, alongside single-player, online co-op, LAN co-op, Steam Workshop and the level editor as Steam features.
The Demo Is Already Live
Stormforge Demo is a separate free Steam app (appid 5056340) released on August 18, 2026. Roboto Games says it covers the first 4+ hours of gameplay and includes multiplayer for up to 8 players, character classes and skill trees, the new combat system, new enemies, a boss fight, item upgrades, updated crafting and building, and larger storm areas with harder clearing conditions.
It is actively maintained: the demo was patched on August 20, 21, 22, 24, 27, 28, 30, September 1, 3, 4, 9, 11 and 16, and the in-game version number to check is v0.1.35.27110. The demo also has a public reception record — 94 user reviews on Steam, rated Mostly Positive (76% positive) as of September 19, 2026. The unreleased base game has no reviews yet.
Steam Next Fest: October 2026
Steamworks documentation confirms the October 2026 edition of Steam Next Fest runs from October 19 at 10:00 AM PDT to October 26 at 10:00 AM PDT, with an August 31, 2026 registration deadline. Because the demo is already live and the game is still unreleased, Stormforge is eligible — but Roboto Games has not published whether it is entered, and the Next Fest page does not list games before the event starts. Treat participation as unconfirmed.
If it does appear, the timing is ideal: the fest closes October 26 and Early Access opens November 10, 2026, two weeks later.
