We have some massive news to share with you all today. After a lot of hard work, coffee, and late nights, we finally have an official release date...
Ward Off Evil is launching on October 12th, 2026!
It’s an incredible mix of exciting and stressful over here at the studio, but we are absolutely thrilled to reach this milestone.
With the core of the game built out, we are officially pretty much feature-complete! We are now shifting our entire focus toward content implementation, bug testing, and minor polish to make sure the launch build is as smooth as possible.
Over the last two development sprints, we’ve packed the game with the final missing mechanics and a ton of new content.
- We’ve fully integrated player leveling, alongside a ton of new skills and perks. There are currently 125 level-up options available! It might sound like overkill, but we had a really interesting system in mind and we can't wait to see the builds you come up with.
- The brand-new Relic system is officially in the game, alongside the ability to rank up your units to make them even stronger.
- We are currently implementing the major questlines and building out the final locations. The world map itself is also mostly complete!
- Sights & Sounds: The game is looking much better thanks to a wave of visual improvements, and we’ve overhauled the environmental ambiance with brand-new audio effects to pull you deeper into the world.
Things are going incredibly well, and we only have a handful of devlogs left to share before launch day. Thank you so much for sticking with us on this journey, and we'll see you soon!
