Medieval fantasy RPG Of Ash and Steel launches on November 6

Publisher Tinybuild and developer Fire & Frost Studios have released a Steam Next Fest demo and announced that the medieval fantasy RPG Of Ash and Steel will launch on November 6 for PC (Steam and GOG).

If you haven't kept up with it, Of Ash and Steel was originally announced last November, described as inspired by RPGs of the early 2000s, with the original Gothic and The Witcher series serving as key inspirations for it. Alongside today's demo release on Steam, a new release date trailer was shared by Tinybuild.

Ready yourself for an adventure like the classic games of yore! tinyBuild and indie developer Fire & Frost have announced today that Of Ash and Steel, the retro-inspired, open-world RPG that blends old-school spirit with modern design, will launch on Steam and GOG on Nov. 6, 2025. Play as Tristian, a cartographer thrust into the life of an adventurer, and fix what plagues the island of Grayshaft on a journey where quest markers are replaced by thoughtful exploration, discovery and decision-making.

Would-be adventurers can experience the beginning of the game before its November release with Of Ash and Steel’s new Steam Next Fest demo, available now. Step into the perilous lands of Grayshaft and discover the main storyline while tackling multiple side quests and encountering new places and people across the isle. Experiment with skill trees and professions as you shape your fortune from humble cartographer to mighty hero.

The Steam Next Fest demo also includes Of Ash and Steel’s Arena Master Mode, where the most seasoned players can put their skills to the test in fast-paced battles. Earn experience, gold, and fame, upgrade your weapons and armor, master new techniques, and prove yourself worthy to be the greatest gladiator on Grayshaft.

In Of Ash and Steel, you’ll learn to survive in an unforgiving realm, exploring the land, honing your combat prowess, and forging alliances. Train with different weapons and combat stances to unlock powerful abilities and become a force on the battlefield. Wield two-handed weapons like axes for colossal damage and sweeping strikes, agile weapons like the rapier for mobility and bleeding damage, or one-handed weapons like the mace for something in between.

Quests in Of Ash and Steel won't lead you by the hand! Rediscover the joy of exploration and let curiosity be your guide – the world promises rich rewards for those who dare to uncover its secrets. Craft valuable armor, weaponry, magical potions, and hearty meals, all in the pursuit of becoming a hero. Weapons you create often have lower requirements than ones scavenged in the world, allowing you to use more powerful tools earlier in the game.

Of Ash and Steel's free Steam Next Fest demo is available now on Steam! Try the game and wishlist it today ahead of its November 6 debut.
