Greetings, Dwarven Lords!

We have noticed several comments under the recent announcements asking about any news regarding the playable version of the game. It's not our intention to hide our plans, and we are fully aware that many of you have been waiting for this game for a long time now. Let's take a look at our upcoming plans for King of the Dwarves.

Demo Plans Unveiled

When it comes to launching a Demo, most developers on Steam are currently taking advantage of the Steam Next Fest events, which occur 3 times per year. Steam has officially announced the following dates for their upcoming Next Fests:

Next Fest | June 9 - June 16, 2025
Next Fest | October 13 - October 20, 2025

Let's be fully transparent with you - we won't make it in time to join the Steam Next Fest in June. But we will do our best to attend this event in October. It might require us to channel our inner dwarven stubbornness in order to make it happen, but we really want to achieve this goal.

So officially, the demo should be available for you to play on October 13, 2025.

Demo Limitations

Having said that, what are your preferences for limiting the demo content? Would you rather play a Demo that ends after an hour of gameplay? Or would you rather play at your own pace but have the demo end once a certain objective is reached? Let us know in the comments what your preferred approach is!

Best regards, King of the Dwarves Team
