Soul's Remnant Release Date
Quick answer: Soul's Remnant is free to play in Early Access on Steam (Windows, Mac and Linux) since August 13, 2026.
Overview
Soul's Remnant released on August 13, 2026, in Steam Early Access as a free-to-play game. The date was announced about five weeks earlier, on July 7, 2026 — the announcement noted the date had moved from August 5 to August 13 because of unforeseen events.
The launch is not the finished 1.0 version: the developer plans to keep adding content, fixing bugs and balancing throughout Early Access. As of August 14, 2026, no date has been announced for the full release.

Will my progress be wiped?
No. The launch announcement states, in the developer's own words, "no more wipes!!" — the same promise was made in the July 7, 2026 announcement. From Early Access onward, all progress is kept, and nothing has been said about a wipe at the full release.
The 1.0 release and roadmap
There is no 1.0 date yet. Roadmap details are thin: the developer has said there are no plans for PvP, keeping the focus on cooperative play. Expect frequent patches, balance changes and new content through Early Access.
