ROMESTEAD EARLY ACCESS DATE REVEALED
AnnouncementApr 9, 2026Suyana

Greetings Romans!

The time has FINALLY arrived!

The Sun Rises!

During the Triple-i Initiative Showcase this evening we unveiled the official Early Access launch date! Romestead is made available for all MAY 26th this year!

If you haven't already, please check out the reveal trailer here!

What's New?

There's a whole heap of new things to look forward to as part of the Early Access, adding hours of content to discover!

Including, but not limited to:

  • More helpful citizens as your people can now help you with more tasks in your settlements, such as the Carpenter being able to help you complete buildings

  • More bosses, more biomes, more dungeons including the brand new Volcanic biome that brings a fiery challenge to those who dare to face the two legendary foes slumbering within

  • Trading between settlements with the introduction of the Trading Post building which extends the town automation with empire-wide automations using player created automated Trade Routes

  • A new Decoration Mode for personalising your towns using an inventory-free system for collecting, placing, and customising furniture and decorations from chairs and tables, to lamps, plants, and statues

  • Better inventory management with the ability to expand player inventory and the addition of sorting functionality making it easier to keep track of your loot

  • Official support for Xbox and PlayStation 5 controllers with the option to remap a number of buttons for those who prefer to sit back and relax as they rebuild their empire

What's Next?

In the 47 days that remain, we at Beartwigs will be working hard on the Early Access build and everything that follows!

Until then, that is all. Early Access is coming, and we can't wait to share it with you!

Thank you, all of you, for your love and support. We are beyond grateful. Romestead is almost here!

Roma Aeterna!
