Dimraeth Release Date: Early Access Launch and 1.0 Outlook

Dimraeth's release date for Early Access was Tuesday, September 15, 2026, when the game went live on Steam at 18:00 CEST. That is the game's only release so far: developer Mudtek has not announced a date for the full 1.0 version, and the Early Access phase is estimated to last roughly 18 to 24 months. Below are the exact launch times by region, what shipped on day one, and everything that is — and is not — confirmed about future dates.

Exact Early Access unlock times on September 15

Mudtek published the official unlock schedule in a Steam community launch post, with local times across regions — useful both as a launch-day record and as a reference if you are comparing notes with players in other regions:

• Seattle — 09:00, Tuesday, September 15
• Mexico City — 10:00, Tuesday, September 15
• New York City — 12:00, Tuesday, September 15
• Rio de Janeiro — 13:00, Tuesday, September 15
• London — 17:00, Tuesday, September 15
• Berlin — 18:00 CEST, Tuesday, September 15
• Moscow — 19:00, Tuesday, September 15
• Shanghai — 00:00, Wednesday, September 16
• Tokyo and Seoul — 01:00, Wednesday, September 16

The countdown hiccup before launch

Some players noticed the store page countdown pointing to an earlier unlock time in the final days. Mudtek addressed this directly in the launch post, explaining it was a scheduling hiccup on their end and confirming that 18:00 CEST was the correct unlock time. The game then unlocked as planned, so if you are comparing notes from launch day, the times above are the authoritative ones.

How the September 15 date was set

The road to release was unusually public for a small team. Community gaming coverage traces the game's first big reveal to Gamescom 2025, and the official launch post thanks players who joined "when we had only a couple thousand wishlists in the September 2025 playtest". A free demo followed in spring 2026 and ran through a Steam Next Fest window before being delisted on July 15, 2026. An Early Access release date trailer spread the September 15 date in early September 2026, and the developers confirmed the date, unlock times and launch content in a Steam community post shortly before release. The same post noted that Dimraeth had neared 500,000 wishlists — a number the team called almost surreal for its first game.

Launch day, as it happened

Launch day itself went smoothly by Early Access standards. The game unlocked at 18:00 CEST as scheduled, the developers' launch post walked players through exactly what to expect in the build, and community channels reported a healthy debut — one creator cited around 10,000 concurrent players jumping in during the launch window, an unofficial figure but a reasonable signal of interest for a small studio's first game. Early reviews landed positive too: about 85% of the first 490+ Steam reviews were positive as of September 16, 2026, the day after release.

What shipped on the release date

The September 15 Early Access build included 3 races (Elf, Minotaur, Human) and 3 classes (Shadow, Mage, Brawler), with Act 1 of the story told across three chapters. Mudtek's launch post also lists pets, elite enemies and major bosses, more building, new equipment, a skill tree overhaul, and difficulty levels as launch content, plus a level cap of 25 and a repeatable deed system with progressive difficulties as the current endgame. Co-op for 1 to 8 players was live from day one, with single-player fully supported and hero progression designed to travel between worlds while world progress stays behind. The build is PC-only via Steam.

The full release timeline at a glance

• 2025 — public reveal builds momentum, including a September 2025 playtest (official)
• Early April 2026 — free Steam demo goes live (per community coverage)
• Spring 2026 — demo featured around a Steam Next Fest window (official launch post references the demo and next fest)
• July 15, 2026 — demo delisted from Steam
• Early September 2026 — Early Access release date trailer circulates
• September 15, 2026, 18:00 CEST — Early Access launches worldwide on Steam

One caution about older sources: coverage published before July 2026 often assumes the demo is still playable or describes demo-era mechanics. Dates on wiki pages and video upload dates are the quickest filter — anything from before mid-July 2026 should be read as history, not as a description of the game you can buy today.

Is there a 1.0 release date?

No. Mudtek's Early Access FAQ estimates 18 to 24 months in Early Access counted from launch — which, on a calendar, lands somewhere in the 2027–2028 window, though that is arithmetic, not an announced date. The developer has deliberately committed to no fixed 1.0 day. The official roadmap describes what will be added — growth from today's 3 races and 3 classes toward the planned 8 races, 6 classes and 48 archetypes, plus additional acts — but it also carries no dated milestones, so ignore anyone quoting a specific "full release day".

The store's Early Access FAQ also asks how the full version is planned to differ, and the honest answer is scope: the additional races, classes, archetypes, spells and acts are exactly what will separate 1.0 from today's build. Mudtek's launch post framed the phase around feedback — reading reviews and discussions and adjusting priorities — which means the eventual calendar will be shaped by how development actually goes, not by a marketing countdown.

Was the Dimraeth release date ever delayed?

Not in any way we can verify. The Early Access date was promoted with a trailer in early September 2026, confirmed with regional unlock times in the launch post, and the game shipped on that date at 18:00 CEST. The only scheduling hiccup was cosmetic: the store page countdown briefly displayed an earlier time, and Mudtek corrected that before launch. If you see claims about missed earlier dates, they do not trace back to anything official we could find.

What the dates mean if you are buying now

Buying today means buying Early Access: a well-received but incomplete build, with about 85% of the first 490+ Steam reviews positive as of September 16, 2026. Mudtek plans to raise the price as content grows, so the earliest window is also the cheapest one. Updates arrive without a fixed calendar, so follow the Steam community hub, the official Discord or our updates tracker for patch news rather than waiting for a dated announcement that does not exist yet.
