Almost a million copies of Thronefall, from Grizzly Games, have already been sold in Early Access. In October 2024, it's time for the full game, which will also be released on Switch.

Thronefall will leave Steam Early Access on 11 October. The minimalist strategy game about defending "a little kingdom without unnecessary complexity and with a healthy dose of hack-and-slay" is being developed by Berlin-based Grizzly Games, developers of Islanders and Superflight. A Nintendo Switch version will be released on the same day. The indie hit has sold just under a million copies and has over 565,000 wishlists on Steam, with nearly 15,000 Overwhelmingly Positive (96%) reviews since its initial Early Access release in August 2023.

"We're so grateful for the attention Thronefall has gotten since we launched into Steam Access. The reception has been far beyond anything we had imagined," says Jonas Tyroller. "With the most recent editions and the Nintendo Switch launch, we hope there’s something in it for everyone to enjoy and brings the game to more people; from the kid who’s playing their very first strategy game to the veteran who simply doesn’t have time to sink hundreds of hours into learning how to play something new."

Final Release Additions: - Three more levels (full campaign of 10 levels) - More perks, mutators, enemies and weapons - Various quality of life improvements, such as being able to see future wave info in the pause menu etc.

Important changes since the start of Early Access on Steam: - Three new levels - Lots of new perks, mustators, enemies and weapons - New hero units - A Rogue-Like endless mode - Mini-modes that go wild with gameplay (e.g. Throneball where you defend as massive snowball rolling over enemies) - Various quality of life improvements, such as better unit control hotkeys
