Of Ash and Steel delayed to November 24

Publisher TinyBuild and developer Fire & Frost have announced that medieval open-world RPG Of Ash and Steel has been delayed to November 24. It was originally set to launch on November 6 for PC (Steam, GOG).

In a post on the game's Steam page, First & Frost cite that various issues were brought to light during Steam Next Fest, and a few extra weeks of development time are needed to 'properly address these issues.'

The blog post can be found below, via Fire & Frost. In case you missed it, you can check out the Steam Next Fest trailer.

Adventurers!

With Steam Next Fest now behind us, we want to thank everyone who played our demo and shared their thoughts and feedback.

We received and read hundreds of comments and suggestions from players all over the world — something we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago.

Thanks to you, Of Ash and Steel was among the best-performing demos of the event! Moreover, the game has now surpassed 220,000 wishlists, a milestone that fills us with pride and gratitude.

It means a lot to us to connect with fellow fans of the RPG genre and the very games that inspired us to create our own.

We’d also like to share some important news about the near future of Of Ash and Steel.

Right now, we are in the active phase of testing the game before its release, making sure your journey across the island will be as smooth and bug-free as possible.

Originally, we announced that your adventure would begin on November 6. However, during testing, our teams discovered several issues that require more time to fix than we initially expected.

We’ll need a few extra weeks to properly address these issues. The new release date for Of Ash and Steel is now November 24th, 2025.

Announcing the release date was one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking moments of development, because deep down we feared something like this might happen at the very last moment. And… it did! Hopefully, you haven’t booked your vacation around the release just yet.

We sincerely apologize for this short delay, and hope you’ll understand our decision.

Finally, for those who haven’t tried the demo yet — good news! It will remain available for a while longer, so you still have time to step onto Grayshaft and experience the first hours of your adventure.

Thank you for your support, and we’ll see you (just a little later) on Grayshaft!
