Gloomvex Releases in 2 Days

Gloomvex Releases in Just 2 Days

The full launch is set for April 17, 2026 at 19:00 CEST, and we are now entering the final stretch before release.

Over the past weeks, a lot of work has gone into polishing the game, improving core systems, cleaning up old playtest elements, and refining the overall experience for launch. This update is part of that final preparation phase and includes a range of fixes, structural improvements, and cleanup tasks across menus, enemy systems, targeting, legal links, and overall backend stability.

Thank you to everyone who supported Gloomvex during development, joined the playtest, reported issues, and helped shape the game along the way. Your support has made a real difference.

If you have not wishlisted Gloomvex yet, now is the perfect time. It helps a lot in the final days before release and makes a big impact on visibility.
