I am currently working towards a PUBLIC demo of Erios! This will be a vertical slice of the game, showcasing the core mechanics and features. The demo will be available for free on Steam! After the demo, it’s time to start polishing up all mechanics, fixing bugs, and prepare for the release!

I can’t work on Erios full-time unfortunately, and since I am a solo developer, progress depends on me. These numbers are estimations based on my private Erios task board. The date can change if new tasks are added or removed. Fear not tho, as Erios is coming! Perhaps slower than you and me would want it to be, but I do make progress every week!

2027 Q3 – 2028 Q4

Updated 25 October 2026, refreshed every Sunday. The estimate may still grow as new tasks are added.

After the demo has been released, most of Erios its mechanics and features will have been implemented already, as the demo is a vertical slice of the game. The full release will further expand on the content, features will be polished to be release ready, and of course all gathered feedback from the demo will be taken into consideration. The demo only revealed a slice of Weldanar, and with the full release, you will be able to explore the entire region!
