    Forged to Perfection — Blacksmith Master Strikes 1.0 on November 19!

    Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Untitled Studio have officially announced that Blacksmith Master — the charming medieval smithy management sim — will leave Early Access and launch its full Version 1.0 on November 19, 2026, arriving simultaneously across Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store. And yes, the team confirms that date definitely doesn’t line up with any major triple-A launches. Honest.

    From Humble Forge to Thriving Empire

    Blacksmith Master puts you in charge of every link in the production chain — from sending miners into the hills and felling timber in the woods, to smelting ore, crafting goods, and selling them to customers across the kingdom. Since its Early Access debut in May 2025, it’s earned Very Positive reviews from players captivated by its relaxing, deeply satisfying blend of resource management, workshop design, and artisan pride.

    What the 1.0 Update Brings to the Anvil

    The full release expands the experience with substantial new features:

    Master Workers — Specialists at Your Service

    • Master Miner — uncovers precious gems while extracting ore
    • Master Lumberjack — unlocks vastly expanded wood storage
    • Master Scholar — researches the ultimate tier of blueprints
    • Master Cashier — ensures no customer ever loses patience waiting to pay
    • Each specialist unlocks unique abilities, exclusive items, and powerful set bonuses

    Siege Machines — Grand Designs

    Ballistas, catapults, cannons, and battering rams are now commissioned from across the realm. These massive projects involve over 100 components apiece — true tests of your workshop’s efficiency. Complete them and earn rare mystery blueprints plus 12 all-new themed item sets.

    Further Refinements

    • Item Tiers — gear now ranges from Common all the way to Mythic, giving crafting more depth and value
    • Random Events — positive and negative occurrences keep life interesting beyond the anvil
    • Polish & Balance — over a year of community-driven tweaks, quality-of-life improvements, and visual refinements

    Platforms & Availability

    • Release Date: November 19, 2026
    • Price: £17.99 / $19.99 / €19.99
    • PC Platforms
    • Early Access: Available now on all platforms at the same price point

    Ready to Become the Master?

    Whether you’ve been tending your forge since day one or are waiting for the full release to pick up your hammer, November 19 is the day Blacksmith Master steps into its final form. From frying pans to siege engines, your legacy is what you make it.

    History in the Making: The End of History Comes to Consoles — Full 1.0 Launch Hits Q1 2027!

    Indie publisher WorldMap has officially confirmed that The End of History — the ambitious sandbox strategy RPG from acclaimed solo developer Tatamibeya — is heading to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with both console editions and the full Steam 1.0 release scheduled to arrive together in Q1 2027.

    About the Game

    Set in a sprawling, fictional medieval feudal world, The End of History casts you not as a preordained hero, but as a living, breathing part of history — one where your choices ripple outward, reshaping kingdoms, alliances, and lives in ways no script could predict. Described as an emergent history simulation, it blends deep strategy, roleplaying, and dynamic storytelling where every decision can alter the course of nations.

    The game first entered Steam Early Access on 10 December 2025, where it has grown steadily through regular updates and community feedback. The console versions will launch fully up to date — shipping with all improvements, refinements, and content added throughout the Early Access period, alongside everything new in the 1.0 milestone.

    Who’s Behind It?

    The End of History is the vision of Tatamibeya (Hiroshi Sakakibara), an independent developer based in Poland — previously known for atmospheric narrative titles NOSTALGIC TRAIN and FARAWAY TRAIN, and an environment artist who helped build Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt Red. Now working solo, he’s crafting a deeply personal, evolving world where history is what you make it.

    What’s Next

    • Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam)
    • Release: Q1 2027 — full 1.0 launch across all platforms
    • Play it first: The Steam Early Access build will be playable at the WorldMap booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026 (17–20 September). Attendees will also receive a special booklet featuring player-submitted “Observation Logs” from the community.
    • Price: $28 USD
    • Status: Porting work is already underway.

    Why It Matters

    For solo-developed projects, making the leap to consoles is always a landmark — and to do so alongside the full 1.0 release is a rare milestone. Whether you’ve followed it since Early Access or are discovering it for the first time on PS5 or Xbox Series, The End of History promises a rich, reactive medieval experience where no two playthroughs tell the same tale.

    We’ll keep you updated on exact release dates, new trailers, and hands-on impressions as we get closer to launch.
