All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

After over 5 years of development, Barbarian officially launches in Early Access on May 26, 2026.

Barbarian is a soulslike-inspired open-world survival RPG for 1–10 players — play solo or with friends.

Master fluid, skill-based combat with precise parries and dodges (no animation locks), take on epic bosses, craft and upgrade gear, and build your base.

Build a persistent character — your items and progression carry across every world you play, even in multiplayer. Share loot with friends and continue your journey anywhere.

What to expect in Early Access:
- Open-world exploration
- Online co-op (1–10 players)
- Skill-based combat (parry, dodge, no animation locks)
- Boss battles
- Crafting, gear upgrades & base building
- Persistent character progression across worlds

This is just the beginning — your feedback will help shape Barbarian.
