The blocks are ready, and now so are your friends. Independent developer 4th Branch has confirmed that blockia, its charming block-building simulator, releases its full version on Steam this Friday 30 October 2026 at 08:00 UTC / 17:00 JST — with a brand-new online Play mode and an introductory discount.
What Is blockia?
blockia is a calming, creative sandbox where there are no fixed goals and no right answers. Just blocks, your imagination, and a peaceful space to build:
- 120+ part types — from basic bricks to furniture, foliage, roofs, and decorative details
- Full creative freedom — place, rotate, recolour, and stack however you like
- Guided recipes — step-by-step instructions help you get started, then you can tweak everything
- Photo Mode — frame your creation, choose backgrounds and lighting, then snap and export your masterpiece
- Suitable for all ages — simple, intuitive controls mean children and adults can build side by side
Build Together — The New Play Mode
The biggest addition in the full release is Play mode, letting you create alongside friends online:
- Co-creation sessions — jump into shared spaces and build in real time
- Build Battle — theme-based challenges where you create, present, and admire each other’s work
- New parts & backgrounds — expanded creative tools exclusive to the full version
- Demo remains available — try before you buy; the free demo will stay up post-launch
